Review: Engaging and Over Too Soon
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 24, 2013
This is a quick adventure, highlighting Buroker's talent for sketching distinct characters with just a few apt actions and quips. For fans of the EE seriesThe Emperor's Edge Collection (Books 1, 2, and 3): Fortis could be Amaranthe's long-lost brother. Same propensity for scheming over bloodshed. The pace is too fast and the plot development not quite as graceful as her later work, but Fortis is a fast friend. A nice intro to Buroker's style, or tasty snack as you await her next novel.
