(Received a review copy.)Um, wow. If you read the Emperor's Edge series and you're considering stopping at the end of the first story-arc (EE7), you won't want to miss this book. It is fantastic and easily one of my favorite books Buroker has written so far, if not THE favorite. Absolutely blew me away.I should say I was actually wary going into it. I don't normally like books where there are 2+ rotating points of view, and this book has...6?, but each rotation was done flawlessly and effectively and I loved it. The switch-ups were never jarring and always in character, always interesting, and--yeah. I'm not sure how well this book could be read without reading at least the main books in the series before it. It's standalone, but still dependent on what came before it. Though I haven't read the Sword&Salt; novellas yet--which I intend to rectify at my next opportunity because Dak was awesome.Um. Gush gush gush gush? I'm so glad I had this book to read, too. Health hasn't been the best this week, and it's been a perfect rainy-day book. :D
