I’m always a fan of Andrews’ detailed world building, because it’s so well thought out. It’s just that only people who have the right bloodlines can see it and walk past the boundary. The idea of the different worlds is a really interesting one, sort of a spin on a faerie world we can’t see except it’s really just down that road there. My Thoughts: This is much more romance focused than the Kate Daniels series and falls under paranormal romance rather than urban fantasy, but the great world building I’m used to is still there. One day, Declan, the Earl of Camarine, a pureblood from the Weird appears at Rose’s door. So when Rose proves herself to have a remarkable mastery to control her “flash”, suddenly the out-for-themselves Edgers will stop at nothing to have Rose, either to enhance their own bloodlines or to sell to the highest bidder.
They can do small magics, but most of their bloodlines are diluted. The people who live in the Edge are poor, and have to go over to the Broken to make money.
The Edge is the place where our world, the Broken, overlaps with the Weird, an alternate dimension where magic is real. The Premise: Rose Drayton lives in the Edge. I know it’s a signal for “this is a romance”, but eh, the model is not cute. When William’s and Cerise’s missions lead them to cross paths, sparks fly-but they’ll have to work together if they want to succeed…and survive.Oh this cover! The girl with the red pickup truck and the gun captures the backwoods feel of the setting, but not a fan of the floating head, this would have been perfect without it. William, a changeling soldier who left behind the politics of the Weird, has been forced back into service to track down a rival nation’s spymaster.
Two nations of the Weird are waging a cold war fought by feint and espionage, and their conflict is about to spill over into the Edge-and Cerise’s life. When her parents vanish, her clan’s long-time rivals are suspect number one.īut all is not as it seems. The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Walmart and magic is a fairytale–and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny…Ĭerise Mar and her unruly clan are cash poor but land rich, claiming a large swathe of the Mire, the Edge swamplands between the state of Louisiana and the Weird.
