A definite improvement on Realm Breaker. Blade Breaker doubles the pace of the first novel and dives into the characters stories as much as it does the overarching plot. Taristan and Erida reach new levels of wickedness as their goal to rule the Ward comes within their grasp. I was hoping to see more in Coranye as she learns to fight, but the end of the novel set up for her to come fully into her potential. Even without the skills of a warrior, she and all the other Companions make fun, fascinating characters whose trials and triumphs grip at your heart.
