The White Rose by Glen Cook is praised for its gritty, dark fantasy setting and complex characters, drawing readers into the intricate tale of rebellion and magic. However, some critics find the narrative pacing uneven, with dense plotting that may confuse new readers to the series. Overall, it's a compelling continuation of the Black Company saga for those familiar with its universe.
A reader who enjoys The White Rose by Glen Cook would likely appreciate dark, gritty fantasy with complex characters and epic battles, akin to fans of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. They'd also favor morally ambiguous storylines as found in Joe Abercrombie's First Law books.
