Enjoying this series very much. A good balance between action, intrigue and romance. The final confrontation between the Hand and the Mirror is getting closer, or at least I think is coming. Kaldar and Audrey were a good match and throughout the book as they overcame every obstacle standing in their way to accomplish their mission they also grew as characters and finally reached their HEA.

Spider is not defeated yet. He is lurking, waiting to be whole again while his minions continue to wreck havoc. The Edgers aren't idle either and ever so slowly, The Mirror is relying more and more on them. In this book George and Jack, Rose's little brothers, proved their worth and boy did they came through with flying colours! It is my hope we get to encounter them again as adults. I think they deserve their own story.

mf - fantasy - moderate steam - age gap - enemies to lovers - he falls first - slow burn. Kalder is such a fun character and the kids (Jack and George) are still amazing. This is a reread for me

Read stand-alone and able to dive in without issue. Really enjoyed world building and characters, especially the boys. Another great book by Ilona Andrews.

I loved reading this book so much, I really didn't want it to end. I love the relationship between Kaldar and Audrey and it's brilliant that we get to the boys grow up too. Straight on to next one, I sure hope I love Richard as much i do Kaldar 🤞

A little underwhelming :( But I'm glad that George and Jack are back.

I read this one out of order but it was still excellent. I really hope George and Jack get their own stories some day.

Love the world! Love the characters!

Werther you are following along in order or you have never read any of the books in this series, you will not miss a thing and never be lost. I enjoy the writing team of Ilona Andrews. They know how to bring a world to life with such amazing descriptions. I feel like I am being taking away into The Edge for the first time. We are pulled right back into The Edge on a fun filled adventure. From the first page to the last you will be hanging onto your seat.

Fate’s Edge is book three in The Edge series. This is Kaldar Mar’s story. Kaldar is always looking for the next adventure and the next con. He’s what we would call a smooth criminal. He will not hesitate to use his charisma and good looks to get what he wants. He has become a member of the Mirror, to gain the means to seek revenge, but he never expect to run across a women who will change his life. I enjoyed Kaldar and his smooth ways as well as his magical skill.

Audrey is a very fascinating women. Her family are grifters, thieves, and always looking for the next big score. She is very aware of the consequences of that type of life and has tried to make an honest life for herself, but one visit from her father will change all of this, putting her life in danger and putting a man in her path that will change everything. I liked Audrey, she is strong, understands the life of a grifter and has a very unique magical skill.

I relished the con storyline! It’s smart, interesting and created a perfect pathway for the hero and heroine to fall in love. Audrey and Kaldar complemented each other, kept each other on their toes, and built a compatible relationship. They are very similar and so in tune with one another that working as a team was a dream.

The kids, Jack and George, were great additions to this book. We get to see them grow up more. They added humor, heart, and made what was once a bunch of misfits, a team. They also added a great presence in this story that I thoroughly adored.

If you’re a fan of urban fantasy romance, then make sure you check out The Edge series. We get a delightful adventure, slick hero’s, and happy endings.

I really had a hard time relating to Audrey. She came across as paranoid instead of concerned. Her sense of morality also didn't seem to fit in with what we've learned in the previous books about the Edgers. Meaning that she seemed overly concerned with the children and not sleeping with Kaldar. In all the other Edge books, Edgers seem mainly concerned with only themselves or their immediate family. These are the type of people who, in the first book, would sell off Rose to blueblooders. At the same time, Audrey was a thief and con artist, two things that really make sense in the Edge universe. Maybe this was an attempt to show multiple aspects of Audrey's personality, but it seemed very disjointed.

Kaldar, I felt, deserved to be fleshed out more as a character. He seemed to have many different facets but we really only saw the flirty ladies man or the genius conman. I don't know why the author waited until the book was almost over to mention how Kaldar is seen as one of the most dangerous men in the Mire. There were hints of Kaldar's dangerousness, particularly when he discovered Jack and George had stowed away in the wyvern. Mainly Kaldar came across as one dimensional.

All in all, the book didn't really come together for me as much as the previous two books in the series. That being said I totally can't wait for the next installment!
