I admit I am a sucker for Charles Vess' drawings, and this volume lived up to my expectations. Gorgeous artwork with depth and detail, if you don't mind a little blood. Emotions are so easily read on the characters faces that you almost don't need words. Of course, the story is good too. Well thought out and not overly wordy.
Rose is a feisty heroine with a good heart. When she and her sister, Briar, are sent to Old Man's cave for their final testing, Rose has no idea of the adventure she is in for. Tricked into setting free a dangerous river dragon, Rose sets out to undo her mistake, but a terrible price must be paid to make amends.
