Book recommendation: Forged in Blood I+II (The Emperor's Edge series finale)

[akk]

What a finale! I followed The Emperor's Edge series of seven since book 1 and if you like action, adventure, humor, intriguing (and developing!) characters in a detailed world with unique steampunk/scifi flavor, these are your books!
I especially liked how the two book finale (Forged in Blood I + II) touched on most if not all the important plot-defining tropes from the previous installments (and even the short stories in between them). A fulfilling closure for a breathtaking ride of seven books with just enough sadness filled in to avoid any sticky sappiness feeling from marring the experience. I seldom use the words "perfect" for a book series, but The Emperor's Edge series series deserves it.
Perfect!

I agree with you :) Very well done books. I really hope the author decides to do more stories in the world she's created. I don't know what I want more-- for Amaranthe and Sicarius to continue having dangerous adventures, or for them to settle down and have some babies. And Maldynado needs to get his statue of course.

Somehow I can see Starcrest granting that statue: it will be placed in front of Stumps' newly build waste water treatment plant and hold a very nice inscription on the socket: "The Fool". ;)
