Labyrinth's Heart
Rook and Rose, Book Three
by M. A. Carrick

Genre: Sci-fi and fantasy

What a fabulous trilogy this has been. Full of new ideas, interesting characters, a world that is so very different. Right from the start the idea of Pattern intrigued me and I'm so pleased the authors are planning to release a deck. ( I'd be even more pleased if I could afford it but such is life. One day. )
Ren has come such a long way, but she's not the only one. All the main characters are very different from how I first saw them.
Its a story that's hard to describe, hard to read occasionally, tested my brain, made me keep looking back to check facts and numbers, they are just not my thing so fascinating though the idea of Numinatra and the magic was it kind of went over my head at times. But Pattern, that's stayed with me and has been another constant thread throughout the story.
There are parts of the trilogy I still don't fully understand even having got to the end and its one of those where for me a rereading will show things I missed first time round.
The characters are amazing – but I have to say, noble though Grey is my heart is truly with Vargo. And Alsius of course
There's drama, danger, excitement, deaths and a few rebirths in the sense of people gone before that manage to connect. Its a very dense story, everything plays a part, every action is connected to some plot somewhere- and there are so many.
This was a fascinating read, will stay with me for some time. And I certainly will read all over again.
