An enforcer wanted dead for crimes she didn’t commit...
An assassin wanted dead for crimes he did commit…

Normally, they would be enemies, but they both seek the same thing: exoneration.

Unfortunately, a nefarious underground organization is attempting to kill the one man who could grant it to them, the emperor. If they want to win their freedom, they’ll have to battle powerful wizards, outscheme master schemers, and defeat bloodthirsty monsters, all while dodging friendly fire and evading the law. Exoneration isn’t easy.

This boxed set includes the first three novels in this high fantasy adventure series:

The Emperor’s Edge
Dark Currents
Deadly Games

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling read.. impossible to put these books down!

Such a fresh and exciting story, from the first chapter, I was intrigued and hooked. An amazing array of diverse characters forced to band together in an attempt to bring about a greater good. These characters will have you smiling, cringing, laughing and rolling eyes as their endeavours to pursue exoneration take them into gripping and unforeseeable quests. I don't want to give anything away, but definitely do yourself a favour and read these, you won't regret it. Now I'm off to buy the remaining in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steampunk fantasy, one of my favorites
Reviewed in Australia on 16 April 2024

A great series in a fantasy steampunk world. Some magic. Some old fashioned steam devices powering a relatively modern world. No dragons but a Kraken makes an appearance. Great sword work an the perfect assassin. A little romance even. Plenty of intrigue, both from inside the empire and from adjacent nations. In all a great series and one that I want to read more about. Lindsay Buroker has woven yet another great series, I know that I will enjoy all her works.

I bought this boxset back in January on speculation. The price for 3 was excerlent. I'm glad I did. Half way through it I went and got the whole 8 book series plus some shorts well played the author, lured and hooked another reader. It's a mashup of steampunk, magic and high tech from off world, but it works. Add in characters that are interesting, the lead, a police officer no less has a habbit of blowing things up. The dialogue is funny at times without descending to the level of snarc. Characters have a coherent back story which we gradually get over the series. A dash of romance, and a fair bit of action rounds out a enjoyable read.

"Lindsay Buroker is awesome," I was told, and then I spotted three of her books in a box set for next to nothing. So this sat on my Kindle for a while, lonely and ignored, until it came to the top of my TBR list...that was about a fortnight ago.

Why'd it take me so long to write a review? Um...because there are 8 books in the series, plus some incidental novellas and short stories, and all the books are a decent length and...all right, Lindsay Buroker IS a legend and I've been binge reading the whole series because of this box set.

It started out like something from one of the late Terry Pratchett's novels...a female police-officer-equivalent making excuses for a less-than-conscientious co-worker...then stumbling on a crime with far-reaching consequences for herself and her nation. Amaranthe is unique, from her OCD tendencies to her irresistible silver tongue, so that despite her talent for causing explosions, she manages to charm the most hostile individuals.

Then there's Sicarius...assassin, target and with significant similarities to a steampunk Terminator. At the beginning, I wasn't sure what to make of him...but by the end of Book 3, I was dying to know what he'd do next.

Yes, there's a cast of other, very strange characters and I admit to wanting to know everyone's story...it's no wonder I give this set five stars.

The stories were okay. The writing seemed waffly and at times juvenile and I didn't particularly care for any of the characters, even after 900+ pages. The premise was weak, the plots are just so unlikely and weird. I want to read books that grab me - these did not.

Si arias, the Emperor’s Edge is back but the old Emperor is dead and he is now a wanted criminal. We have a new player in the game, Amaranthe, a strong woman who only wanted to prove her loyalty to the new Emperor by joining the local guards.
But things happen and when these two get together those things are dangerous. Somehow, Amaranthe gets together a small, but loyal band of mercenaries, who end up calling themselves The Emperor’s Edge hoping that he would realise that they were his loyal subjects.
You are always on the edge of your seat living through their adventures with them. Sicarius is older but, if anything, more lethal than he was as the teenager we first met.
LB is always worth reading!

I lost a lot of time reading this book as it was too easy to just keep reading. Some other books can give too much detail and some seem to add too much bland filler but not this one. There was just the right amount action, humour and background though the latter still has room to expand. I'm definitely interested as to how this adventure continues and if it will remain upbeat and fresh.

This is what I like/dislike about this book (and all other books of this series, though not all deserve my 5star rating, but none is below 4stars):

pros
- characters: the protagonists are heroes in their own ways, but they are not flawless
- romance: yes, there is definitely a romance aspect, but while the reader may sneak a glimpse of some physical attraction he/she does not have to share any intimate bedroom scenes, what a relieve!
- suspense: there are always turns and twists, never a dull moment
- humor: smart and witty, not many *laughing out loud* moments but plenty of chuckles
- dialogs: I just love listening to them talking to each other, quick witted and engaging
- plot: sometimes I do have to remind myself that this is a novel and, yes, the one good guy will beat the 20 bad guys. And, to tell the truth: that’s the way I like it. However unlikely, plots are well thought out and without smothering holes.
- even though the story goes on in following books in the series, there is no cliffhanger at the end of this book - there are two books later in the series with cliffhangers. However - you want to read them all, anyway ;)

cons
believe it or not, I do not have any dislikes. It’s even edited well. However, while it did not bug me but some readers might want to know:
- fighting and death scenes are plentiful and do have some graphic description
- while romance is part of the book, the action/suspense does have a much (!) bigger part
- the book is full of very descriptive but not commonly used adverbs and adjectives. eBook readers benefit from a dictionary.

Comprei a coleção com os 3 livros na Amazon. A série, muito bem sucedida, tem outros livros, que já comprei mas ainda estou lendo. Leitura empolgante, com personagens envolventes, trama bem escrita e uma visão da ficção científica incomum, ao menos para mim, que sou recém chegado ao mundo do steam punk. A trama é passada num mundo onde alguns povos desenvolveram a capacidade psíquica, enquanto o país mais poderoso militarmente optou por desenvolver a ciência tradicional, negando as ciências mentais, classificando-as como mágica. Uma leitura envolvente e que recomendo muito.

As always Lindsey delivers. These first three Emperors Edge books had me reading them back to back, driving my husband mad. Characters, plot and story amazing. I am desperate for A and S to get off for some sheet tangling..I cannot wait. Am off to get all the others in the series of EE. If you havn'read this author yet i highly recommend. Have even managed to get my husband to start reading Lindsey s books and he is on his second and enjoying them.
