On the Edge by Ilona Andrews
adventurous
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.0
In an effort to work my way through Ilona Andrews' back catalogue, I started my journey to the Edge. While it was enjoyable enough, it doesn't hold a candle to their Hidden Legacy series, which is top-tier Urban Fantasy for me (honestly, I may be hard pressed to find anything that tops it, but feel free to send recs!).
I'd put it on par with the first couple of Kate Daniels books - interesting premise & magical world-building, but a little rough around the edges. I'm interested to see how the rest of the series goes, with each book following a different couple. While I liked Rose & Declan overall, that bond you build up over 3+ books with a character was lacking and I didn't find their chemistry believable. ]
Love, love, loved Georgie & Jack, so I'm excited to see that they pop up again in the Innkeeper Chronicles.
