Read-along Review: Steel's Edge by Ilona Andrews

I am so excited to be taking part in Books of My Heart's annual Read-Along! 

This year, the blog picked The Edge and Innkeeper Chronicles series by Ilona Andrews!



Steel's Edge is the fourth and final book in The Edge series and is action-packed, exciting, and full of jaw-dropping surprises!

I really enjoyed these books and I hope you do too!




About the Book

The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Wal-Mart and magic is a fairy tale—and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny…

Charlotte de Ney is as noble as they come, a blueblood straight out of the Weird. But even though she possesses rare magical healing abilities, her life has brought her nothing but pain. After her marriage crumbles, she flees to the Edge to build a new home for herself. Until Richard Mar is brought to her for treatment, and Charlotte’s life is turned upside down once again.

Richard is a swordsman without peer, future head of his large and rambunctious Edger clan—and he’s on a clandestine quest to wipe out slavers trafficking humans in the Weird. So when his presence leads his very dangerous enemies to Charlotte, she vows to help Richard destroy them. The slavers’ operation, however, goes deeper than Richard knows, and even working together, Charlotte and Richard may not survive…





My Review

I love that we finally get a book for Richard! He's always been the stalwart of the Mar family and the series. 

Steel's Edge is full-throttle excitement, danger, and full of surprises! I love reading more about George and Jack now that they're almost grown ups. I really like how strong a character Charlotte becomes. Even though Charlotte is a pureblood and Richard is on the proverbial wrong side of the tracks, they pair together beautifully.

The only thing I didn't like about this book is that the series ended! I'll be wishing and hoping for more books in the future. I know we get to see a few of the characters in the Innkeeper Chronicles series, but it just doesn't seem like it's enough. 

However, knowing the authors, in their universe anything is possible.

I highly recommend the entire Edge series and every book by Ilona and Gordon Andrews!
