Deathmaker by Lindsay Buroker
3.0
Actual rating: 2 ½
I can’t say I was overly enthusiastic about Balanced on the Blade’s Edge (too much insta-romance for me there) but I love Buroker and the world she came up with in this new series so I decided to give Deathmaker a try.
The first part of the book I actually enjoyed a lot more than Balanced on the Blade’s Edge. I love Buroker’s writing and she is one of the very few authors that manage to alternate POVs flawlessly. I enjoyed the setting and the characters are better developed here. Besides, there is much more chemistry between Ahn & Tolomek than between Sardelle and Ridge. Still, it all falls a bit flat after a while and there are some very silly romance elements that made it hard for me to actually enjoy this instalment.
Not a bad book but not engaging enough to convince me to keep reading this series.
