Anne Patkau’s Reviews > The Ronan Scrolls > Status Update

Cross writes as introvert Ronan. Sedentary scholar delights in minutiae, research, details. Thus steps plod. After a mob burns his lively twin Rodan, guilt points his travel to find Watchers who see future paths. Ronan stays wordy in cold, hunger. "I digress". Cross partly builds a world of witches with "common magic" (some?) who transport anywhere. She keeps his fate secret till last page.
