A review by miloulou
Forged in Blood II by Lindsay Buroker

3.0

So after all this time, I've finally finished the series. Well, apparently there's another added? But this one was supposed to be the last one. anyways, it was... alright. I don't know what I was expecting, but I really just skimmed this one. The characters have just... lost their magic for me I guess. I think splitting the forged in blood novels into two was really unnecessary. Books fate was also pretty useless as well, considering how fluffy most of the novels were in the first place. For us to have gone through all that for him... well it sets a good stage for Akystr if he ever is featured in other novels. and there is the whole plot line lindsay buroker could go through with starcrest's eldest daughter and sespian. I wish, however, that there would have been more... well graphic scenes with sicarius and amaranthe. considering linsday buroker wrote pretty good ones in decrypted, after waiting 7 novels for them to get together it was kind of a letdown. i don't think i'll even bother with the next emperor's edge novel after this one.
