In the Reign of Good Queen Dick

by Kip Manley

Overview

Ysabel rules the City of Roses with her brother, Lymond, the King, and Jo Maguire, formerly a telemarketer, is now the Duchess of Southeast-but happily ever after doesn't go as far as it used to. New peers have been raised up, and new factions vie to bring them down, from disgruntled knights to shadowy government operatives, from Lake Barons over the hills to Gloria Monday's art commune, and from enemies out of the past to apocalyptic nightmares of the future, drowned and forgotten. Can they possibly live up to the responsibility that power demands?

Collecting chapters 23 - 33 of the critically acclaimed fantasy serial, continuing the story begun in vol. 1, "Wake up...", and vol. 2, The Dazzle of Day.

Editorial Reviews

City of Roses is the most fun I've had with a book in a good while. -Felix Gilman

I found my cynicism undone over and over again. "Oh," my inner cynic said, "look, here's Celtic-tinged music. Here's the love triangle, with genders switched up and mixed. Here's the smart-ass protagonist getting in trouble because she's too willing to throw a verbal punch." But then Manley would whip those familiar elements into a moment rooted in idealism and hope, but with a healthy dose of life's tragedies, the entire, swirling, beautiful mess tumbling my inner cynic on her ass. -Bookslut
