Dark Currents

So many good quotable lines! This author is fabulous at banter, sass, and making me love characters.
I like that this book took us out of the main city too as I was concerned we'd be stuck there, but I also missed the prince a little bit. As this series is 9 books long I shouldn't be too surprised that there are a few plotlines and they all get worked on gradually.

4.5 stars. Not because I found it drastically awful or anything. Really, this book was as splendid as the its predecessor.
I found it interesting how Lindsay Buroker switched the points of views between Books and Amaranthe yet continued to write in third person. The character development Books underwent was also intriguing. Perhaps Buroker is aiming to show us how each of the members in the group changes into a more professional vigilante.
The progress in Amaranthe and Sicarius's relationship, however, is what I am currently gushing over. Their forward march to romance is faster than I initially presumed it would be, for which I thank Buroker for. Buroker weaves another story in which Amaranthe and Sicarius's relationship steadily inches forward while they race to solve another problem of the empire as the Emperor's Edge.
