Blade's Edge by Virginia McClain
3.0
3.5/5
This was my first fantasy novel that I’ve read with Eastern influence. Also the first of my own personal SPFBO 2019 Finalist challenge. It was an enjoyable read featuring strong female characters that seemed well researched and steeped in tradition. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did, as I tend to read fantasy specifically to escape reality; but, the blend of real world and fantasy did work really well. This book has opened my eyes to a new sub genre I would otherwise be missing!
My Rating Scale:
5* - LOVED IT! Instantly into the reread pile. Highly recommended.
4* - Really Liked it. Highly Recommended.
3* - Liked it/Good
2* - OK. Unlikely to continue if part of a series.
1* - Nope!!
