Asti and Verci Rynax are following the money trail to
figure out who was behind the fire that destroyed their
homes and businesses (see THE HOLVER ALLEY CREW for more
details). Their trail leads them first to the office of
Colevar and Associates and later to the home of Lord
Henterman. Can the Rynax brothers and their motley crew
uncover what is going on, along with what secrets may be
hiding in LADY HENTERMAN'S WARDROBE?
LADY HENTERMAN'S WARDROBE is the second book in the
Streets
of Maradaine series and picks up right
after the events following the first book, THE HOLVER
ALLEY CREW. The motivation for the entire operation
conducted in LADY HENTERMAN'S WARDROBE is explained in
the first book, so the first half of the book will
probably be far more enjoyable if one has read it first.
Fans of Marshall Ryan Maresca may already be familiar
with Maradaine as the author has several series set
within this particular world.
The first part of the story was a little slower paced
than I expected, but once the action starts to kick in,
wow, does it ever take off! Marshall Ryan Maresca packs a
lot of twists and turns into LADY HENTERMAN'S WARDROBE.
I won't reveal spoilers, but we get to see a bit more of
Asti's past and the information only leaves me with so
many more questions. I can't wait to see how this unfolds
in the next book!
However, as much as Asti's past intrigues me, my favorite
character continues to be Mila Kendish. She shows a lot
of growth in LADY HENTERMAN'S WARDROBE and I wanted to
cheer her on as she stood up to the mysterious and
elusive Treggin to defend her boys. I enjoyed watching
Mila work alongside Helene as well, as they are both
starting to develop into very strong characters on their
own merits- and the hints about Mila's future have me
more than a little intrigued to see if Marshall Ryan
Maresca will have some of his Maradaine-based series
cross over again.
LADY HENTERMAN'S WARDROBE is yet another solid fantasy
novel from the very talented pen of Marshall Ryan
Maresca. The world of Maradaine is a fascinating one, albeit a
very dangerous and sometimes cruel one, and yet I can't
get enough of it. Marshall Ryan Maresca has me hooked
with his phenomenal world building and solid character
development. If you love fantasy that is full of intrigue
and action, then LADY HENTERMAN'S WARDROBE and the
Streets
of Maradaine series may be just what you
are looking for!
Mixing high fantasy and urban fantasy, the second novel
of the Streets of Maradaine series follows the Rynax
brothers' crew of outlaws as they attempt their biggest
heist yet and restore justice to the common people.
The neighborhood of North Seleth has suffered--and not just
the Holver Alley Fire. Poverty and marginalization are
forcing people out of the neighborhood, and violence on the
streets is getting worse. Only the Rynax brothers--Asti and
Verci--and their Holver Alley Crew are fighting for the
common people. They've taken care of the people who actually
burned down Holver Alley, but they're still looking for the
moneyed interests behind the fire.
The trail of breadcrumbs leads the crew to Lord Henterman,
and they plan to infiltrate the noble's house on the other
side of the city. While the crew tries to penetrate the
heart of the house, the worst elements of North Seleth seem
to be uniting under a mysterious new leader. With the crew's
attention divided, Asti discovers that the secrets behind
the fire, including ones from his past, might be found in
Lady Henterman's wardrobe.
