I found this sequel to the much beloved Eastnot only completely unnecessary, but also found that it even lessened my enjoyment of the first novel considerably. Unfortunately, my initial suspicions proved correct with West. There are always thousands of details, small and meaningful, that follow a happy ending, or what one believes to be a happy ending.” “But there it was, and what I found inside was that Rose’s story had not ended where I thought it had. But surely the author who wrote such a magnificent novel like Eastcould write a sequel that I could love just as much? In my opinion, Eastwrapped up Rose’s story beautifully and neatly and there was no need to add on to it. I was even more surprised when West was a continuation of Rose’s story after her happy ending with a white bear. I must say, when I first found out there was a sequel to the pure perfection that is the novel East, I was shocked. And this time, the fate of the entire world is at stake. With mysterious and unstoppable forces threatening the lives of the people she loves, Rose must once again set off on a perilous journey. But Rose doesn’t believe the shipwreck was an act of nature, nor does she believe Charles is truly dead. Now Rose has found her happily-ever-after with Charles-until a sudden storm destroys his ship and he is presumed dead. To rescue him, Rose traveled to the land that lay east of the sun and west of the moon to defeat the evil Troll Queen. When Rose first met Charles, he was trapped in the form of a white bear.
