Loved this one! Love this series. Going to take a break from it for a little while to read some other things, but definitely plan to come back!
Genre: high fantasy with a touch of steam, a dash of magic and the tiniest sprinkle of romanceI'm not sure I can accurately describe how much I love this series. Lindsay Buroker nails it again in the third instalment. This edition is easily as cinematic as the previous two. You could transcribe it word for word onto the big screen and hold me riveted. These characters continue to grow and endear themselves to me. Funnily enough, the character that struck me as the most changed was Maldynado. He
#1 The Emperor's Edge 3.5 stars #2 Dark Currents 4 stars #3 Deadly Games 3.5 stars 3.5 starsAmaranthe and her group of outlaws always manage to make crack a smile and a few laughs. In this third book I must confess, I liked the plot a little less than its predecesor, but I was invested nonetheless. I find myself torn in the romance department. It's very minor in the books to the point you can ignore it if you want, but I have a big shipper heart and I would die for good love stories. On one hand...
Thoroughly enjoyed this next installment in the adventures of the Emperor's Edge, Amaranthe's well-meant team of do-gooders who still manage to leave mayhem and disaster in their wake. The central romance progresses with delicious slowness (I would have so hated insta-love begetting insta-change); probably my only complaint would be that the secondary character chosen for this one actually reveals no more than we knew already.But that won't stop me from getting the next!
"You're the only one whose ever wanted to bring me happiness..." Oh my stars. I can't review this properly because those last 15 pages got me like:I'M JUST SO HAPPY I CAN'T STOP SMILING.
This series is getting better and better!All the good has been kept and the plot deepens more and more! The mane characters grow and become more complex, but always very, very enjoyable!I wish I had discovered this series before: it's soooooo good!
Three cuz that ending. Dude.
WE GOT A KISS!!!
➽ And the moral of this reread is: Why anyone 👋waves at Maldynado👋 would not want to have a statue of themselves going up a squid’s butt made is and forever shall be one of the greatest mysteries of the universe.➽ And the other moral of this reread is: Finger dexterity has crossover applications. I kid you not.➽ And the other, other moral of this reread is: I think I just found a gif of Amaranthe (aka the Fearless Trouble Seeker Leader) and the boys her gang of ruthless mercenaries partying the
I'm really enjoying this series. It's light action-adventure steampunk with a dash of humour. Doesn't turn into paranormal romance and doesn't get too dark or overly dramatic. It's reliably light-hearted fun read, designed to put a smile on your face.Perfect as 'pick me up' read after heavier darker books.Free on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emperors-Edg...
OMG! What a way to spend the last day! Lindsay, you absolutely amaze me with how much I love all your books, but Deadly Games was incredible! If I was slightly in love with Sicarius in the last two books, I am totally done for now! The incredible way he is portrayed, with his lack of emoting makes me want to simultaniously shake him and hug him for making me smirk, then smile, then grin like an idiot. I can honestly say I really wish he was real, I would love to see that stoney-faced silent star...
I usually stray away from stories about the fairer sex, perhaps because they tend to be too fair to digest. I wasn't always this way, and can in fact vividly remember gobbling upon stories about fairy queens and wicked witches, especially Enid Blyton's Blue, Yellow and Red fairy books, Malory Towers and what not. However, as things often come to pass, and then pass away- my appetite for bright and beautiful worlds faded- and I latched onto a darker and grimmer reality.Now, to say that female aut...
I heard I'd like this one more than book 2, but I am not of the same mind. I liked 2 much more than this one. I wasn't really into it until the last bit. Lost some of the humor as well. But, I still like this ragtag group of misfits... well, not the mage as much :( I thought he'd be my favorite but he is losing me quickly. I hope he gets redeemed. I will definitely read book 4 though. The ending here has me so excited for what is to come.
So even though it took me 3 1/2 months to finish this one it is probably the my favorite yet. For reasons... Okay, maybe just one reason. Sicarius.

Amaranthe and the gang are on the case.Blah Blah BlahBasilard has vowed to avenge the wrongs done to his kingdom. BlahMaldynado tries to set Amaranthe up with Lord Mancrest (Deret). Not once, but TWICE he tries to turn her...
