I definitely enjoyed reading this. From the beginning Amaranthe lured me in with her rigid way of following the rules, her strong personality and the subtle humor the author added to her character throughout the book. I felt like this book was a non-stop adventure that I couldn't put down. I enjoyed all the characters, but my favorite was Sicarius of course. He brought a sense of mystery and wonder that made me want to know what was around the next chapter. The story was fantastic with all the twists and surprises throughout! It makes me want to read more adventures about them!

Honestly, I cannot believe what I just read. I read a high-quality, extremely entertaining book for a fraction of the cost of most books. The characters were enticing, the story was engrossing, and the action was exciting. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series and anything else Buroker writes.
I implore - nay - DEMAND you read this book!

I couldn't put it down. Most stories now a days don't have this much action. So it is a great relief to read one. Can't wait to read the next.

Well, I read a ton of all types of fantasy and have pretty high standards for the genre, but I L-O-V-E-D this book. The steampunk-esque elements make it unique, though it keeps all the best aspects of traditional high fantasy as well. And I loved the characters--the #1 most important factor to me in enjoying a book. I really hope it will be the first in a series, and you'd better believe I'll be snapping up the rest as soon as they come out.

This is another amazing book by Lindsay Buroker. I absolutely love this book. They are long books, but they are not long and boring. They leave just enough of a cliff hanger to want to read the next one. I was never bored reading this book the first, second, or third time i read this.

WOW!!!!!!!!!
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.The Emperor's Edge kept me on the edge of my seat. It has the perfect balance of politics and fantasy, and the character relationships were amusing and believable. Even the unique character names added to the flare of a different kind of world where magic may or may not be practiced and no one can be trusted. Despite not being sure exactly how some names were pronounced, the characters' personalities fit well with their given names.
Amaranthe, the ex-Enforcer and main character, was definitely admirable.She was a natural born leader, even though her efforts to save the empire had her resorting to illegal activities. She was extremely good with people and her new cohorts understood how focused she was. When her actions led to more trouble she never toyed with the idea of giving up or beat herself up to do better next time. She took everything at face value and learned from her mistakes. Her slightly skewed honor system made the story exciting.
I can't wait to continue the EE Series, joining Amaranth and the Emperor's Edge as they work towards exoneration from Emperor Sespian. The story's undercurrent of romance gives me hope that there's more than just action and adventure to look forward to.

Ha, a good book with nice action. Pretty nice storyline too, not like those other nooks that you don't get at all.

Wonderful!
Immediately rocketed this author into the position of "favorite" and had me purchasing the next two books in quick succession. I love the characters and the humor, and I find the story highly engaging. I have fallen head over heels for Amaranthe, and I will not hesitate to purchase the remainder of the series as it comes available.

The author could have been more descriptive in the charecters the way they looked but the story line is good the assasin i wont even try to spell his name was slightly humoring in his dead serious way and was hard to imagine with blonde hair in my opinion but that didnt really affect the story

Overview
Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed.Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her ...
