The Sword-Edged Blonde
by Alex Bledsoe
This is a favorite series for me and I've only read now three of the books. I've have Sword-Edged Blonde on my TBR and wishlist for a very long time. I will admit mostly because of the title, but it helped that I had book #3, Wake of the Bloody Angel, as an ARC several years back and saw the title for this first in series and knew I'd have to read it one day.
It's perfect as an audiobook. l finished this morning and immediately began book #2 even though I've read it in the past. I think I will listen to all of them in order.
Mr. Bledsoe likes music as part of the story which is also what caught my eye in book #3. I read a passage and it sounded so familiar. I finally realized it was the story from the song Brandy by Looking Glass. That made me grin. In this book it's Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac. It might be my imagination, but I don't think so.
This is fantasy in essence since there is magic done lightly, goddess mention, and various and sundry other things.
Eddie LaCrosse is a 'sword-jockey', aka a sword for hire. Here he is out to help an old friend solve a mystery and it helps the reader get some backstory on Eddie's life. It helps him do some self-realization too, working through his past which helps his present life.
Highly excellent and I can absolutely recommend this book, series and author.
