Briar Rose by Jana Oliver
I won’t claim to be an expert in understanding the mind of a 16-year old girl, but the 16-year old girl in this story really befuddles me.

This one could have easily been a fun read that isn’t as stale as the author’s other books, but it never quite gets there.
That hero, John, is still the blandest thing in this story, and that’s quite the shame.
The real magic show here is how the author can send me into a bored stupor in such a short time.
If you ever wondered what it’d be like if Kate Daniels and Curran the Pig-Wolf are X-Men, here you go. Enjoy.
A social justice warrior and her white knight take part in the steampunk version of Wacky Races. How nice.
Why do I have this feeling that I am in competition with the author for the affections of her hero?
A tabletop game is a tabletop game, and a novel is a novel. Now, I just need someone to tell me what Nightblade wants to be.
Just when the party is heating up, it’s time to say goodbye to the Edge with a book that hits as much as it misses the mark.
Is there life after Kate Daniels? If Fate’s Edge is anything to go by, oh yes, lots of it. Praise Jeebus and all that jazz.
