The full title ("Lindsay Buroker's The Emperor's Edge") is awkward and a bit pretentious (perhaps a shared universe in formation?), but don't hold that against the book.Title aside, The Emperor's Edge is actually a pretty smooth piece of writing. It's straightforward fantasy, lightly steamed. Amaran...

I really struggled with the rating for this book. I have my own little criteria for how many stars I give to books, but I wanted to add 1 to this book - because it was free. But, in the end, I had to be true to my system. I was able to put down this book - the action frequently lulled - but I sure w...

I stumbled upon this title in a stroke of good fortune, while trolling through “Best Free Kindle Books” over in Listopia. I started reading The Emperor’s Edge about three minutes later, and three days later, I finished the entire series. It was one of the most satisfying reading binges I’ve ever h...

Few things I like more than female police officers in fantasy worlds. Unfortunately this fell flat for me. Partly because the whole "lone female struggling against men who sneer at her" isn't a story I much enjoy, but mostly the style of exposition and plotting.

I got this book ages ago as a kindle freebie. Since I've gotten leery of freebies, this one must've stood out somehow in order for me to have grabbed it.

This was a surprisingly entertaining read. I'm not sure how to classify it, though. Not quite steampunk, not quite fantasy, but somewhere just on the outside edge of both, I guess.The worldbuilding was simple but effective, though I would have liked to have just a bit more descriptions of the sett...

I was bouncing around websites looking at reviews for something else when I tripped over this. It was free, it had good reviews, it sounded intriguing - a female enforcer (cop) in a steam-punk fantasy setting - so I downloaded the sample, and just kept reading. It's not deep, but it's pacy, funny an...

Well Lindsay you have done it again!!Emperor's Edge was a brilliantly written, fast-paced, action-packed tale that showcased some of my favourite characters, to date! I think I am slightly in love with Sicarius, despite his lack of emotion. Amaranthe was one of the best lead characters I have ever e...

This book made me late for class. It kept up most of the night, too, but a lot of books do that. It takes a good book to make me miss my bus.I first read Lindsay Buroker’s writing in her short story, Ice Cracker II (Free! Check it out!). It takes place after the events in The Emperor’s Edge, but doe...
