And yes, there’s plenty of both within the pages of this thrill-a-minute story. As is certainly shown in this fifth entry in the series, Blood and Betrayal. I also fell in love with her endlessly snarky five-man band of characters – even though the band eventually encompassed more than five characters, male or otherwise.įor a series that is set in a fantasy world that has elements of both steampunk and “pure” SF, the group dynamics of Amaranth Lokdon’s crew have the feel of the best sword-and-sorcery, you know the type where the hero and his sidekick slice and snark their way through a world that seems to be out to get them at every turn.Īmaranthe’s gang certainly is paranoid, but that doesn’t mean that people aren’t out to get them. Otherwise known as the “ how big a fool I was to stop reading this” series.īack in 2013 I started the Emperor’s Edge series by Lindsay Buroker, and fell headlong into her blend of fantasy, steampunk and SF. Welcome to this week’s second entry in the “long time no see” series. Meanwhile, Amaranthe must find a way to escape from the coalition’s newest ally, Master Interrogator Pike, a man who plans to pull all of the secrets from her head, one way or another…īlood and Betrayal is the fifth novel in The Emperor’s Edge series. If Maldynado can’t figure out how to earn the emperor’s trust quickly, Sespian will go off to confront their powerful enemies on his own. As if it’s his fault that his older brother is working with the coalition to usurp the throne. To make matters worse, Forge’s cutthroats are after Sespian, and the young emperor believes Maldynado's loyalties are suspect. Also, Sicarius has made it clear that Maldynado’s life may be forfeit should anything happen to the emperor while he’s gone. It's kind of an important time.īut, with Amaranthe captured by the nefarious Forge coalition, and Sicarius off to find her, the team is lacking in leaders. After all, the team just blew up a train, crashed a dirigible, and kidnapped the emperor. The last thing Maldynado Montichelu-former aristocrat and current ladies' man-ever wanted was to be left in charge.
