madgee 's review for:
Deadly Games
by Lindsay Buroker
4 stars
Again, I find myself a little confused as to why I enjoyed reading this. Just like the last two installments in the Emperor's Edge series, the world building is murky and hardly thrilling, the plot is so-so (this plot was an improvement, but still not a strong point), and pace is a little slow.
But Buroker has a gift for dialogue and character interactions which kept me thoroughly immersed throughout this adventure. I'm not a fan of Axstyr, and Books is sometimes irritatingly pedantic and inept, but as a team, the Emperor's Edge is endearing and engaging. I don't really understand where the group is, don't really care very much about what they're doing, but I'm rooting for this ragtag bunch wholeheartedly.
