A nice read when you want to get some background on Sicarius. Definitely meant to be read after a few of the main books in the series, otherwise you will probably not get much out of it :>

I thought this was a good, very short, story that helps flesh Sicarius out a bit more. It was also nice to read from his perspective.

This is a favorite, return-to-multiple-times series. Amaranthe and Sicarius are one of my very favorite couples I've encountered over the years. I love them.

This is a long short story or as short novella, but either way...it is VERY good.
In a previous book I read about this scene shared within this story. It is frustrating to already know about it...before reading this book, here.
On the other hand, not knowing another aspect of this story, would/could possibly have given away something else that could've been sussesd out of this story.
I like Sicarius (now), but I'm not sure I would have had the same feelings for him...IF this was one of the first stories I had had read...IF I'd have read this FIRST or even second...after the first book. We will never know. I wonder how many people have read this BEFORE the first book.
I really liked what I read...and it DOES inform on three of the main characters that show prominantly in the main story.
Very interesting.

mini review: great series - read them all. they are all fun. :-)
and now just my thoughts.
if you read my review for books 1-3 you will understand the following. so i am cheap but yay for birthdays! i got some gift cards. they were visa gift cards but i spent them on getting almost the entire Lindsay Buroker (i can never spell her name right from memory) collection.
i have purchased every single ebook or ebook collection that has to do with the world of empire's edge.
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
this wasn't one birthday it was 2 birthdays and 2 Christmases. cuz i am cheap. i mean, i cannot even lend these books to folks. oh yeah, i guess i could figure out the kindle loan thingee but whateves. i'll tell them to buy them. i read fiction books once maybe twice if it's a series and i need a refresher.
i love this world and Sicarious and Aramanthe and Sespian and Maldynadoand aeverybody else in these books. (i only checked the spelling on Maldynado's name.) so i enjoyed every short story and every full novel. a few things might be unbelievable or repeated scenarios but whatevs. i loved them all.
the author says in some book (don't ask me which. i have read them alllll!) what her influences are. the tv shows she names are ones i watched and loved and you can feel their influence in her characters and plots. a-team, macgyver, buck rogers, star trek, stargate sg-1, etc.
i do love her books becasue they do remind me of these shows which i loved as a child.

This was really good. I see that it was written after the series was started. If the rest of it's this good I'm sure I'll read them all. Good writing and interesting.
