Review: Must Read for Emperor's Edge Fans
Rating: 5 out of 5

In this novella, which I'm calling EE 5.5, Amaranthe and her motley crew are lying low on a steamboat bound for the capital, in hopes of stopping Forge's master plot (if that didn't make sense, downloadThe Emperor's Edge. It's free and it will get you started--you won't be sorry!). Of course, for this team, nothing ever goes as planned and while on board the ship they discover a nefarious plot that could bring great harm to the city.Narrated in dual POV by Amaranthe and Sergeant Yara (the team's newest addition, and one of my favorite adds to the series), this story also takes a decidedly romantic turn as Yara continues to be pursued by Mal. Amaranthe and Sicarius 'shippers will be especially happy...and there are plenty of awkward, funny moments to go around as well. Several one-liners will likely become infamous quotes for the series going forward, and I laughed out loud frequently during my read. The story also sets the stage for the sixth book, Forged in Blood, which promises to be quite epic.For fans of the Emperor's Edge series, this novella is a must-read.
