Bookslut calls it an “entire, swirling, beautiful mess.” The Web Fiction Guide says it’s “utterly captivating” and “brilliant.” Felix Gilman has said, “Kip Manley’s City of Roses is the most fun I’ve had with a book in a good while,” and Aishwarya Subramanian says, “If I could illegally download City of Roses I would.” Thirty-three chapters of the acclaimed webserial have been bundled together in three convenient volumes (and an omnibus!), in ebook and paperback formats.
City of Roses is a serialized epic firmly set in Portland, Oregon, only with a few more sword fights: a wicked concoction of urban pastoral and incantatory fantastic, where aspirants are knighted in Forest Park, and the Devil keeps a morgue in an abandoned big-box store. —It’s the story of Jo Maguire, a highly strung, underemployed telemarketer, and what happens when she meets Ysabel, a princess of unspecified pedigree. Jo rather unexpectedly becomes Ysabel’s guardian and caretaker, and now must make a place for herself among Ysabel’s decidedly unusual family and friends—which involves rather more sword-play than most of us are used to.
