The Rose series was full of a fantastic cast of characters. By the first few chapters of Rose and the Magician's Mask, the third book in the series, I had already guessed most of the plot twists in the book, and was correct. My only problem with the series as a whole was that it was very predictable. I loved seeing their progression from the beginning of Rose, to the end of Rose and Silver Ghost.
