Review: On the Edge
Between magic and reality lies the Edge, a land mixed of both and yet not really part of either. The citizens of the Edge have the dubious pleasure of living in a world twisted by magic, leading to sometimes dangerous flora and fauna, but the alternative is worse... for to leave the Edge and travel to the Broken means leaving magic behind and eventually losing it forever. Neither citizens of the Broken or the Weird, they eke out an existence by whatever means necessary.
Rose lives in the Edge, along with the brothers she has cared for since her mother died and her father left. Wary of strangers, her world is turned upside down when a blueblood from the Weird arrives on her doorstep. But when something even worse shows up and threatens to destroy them all, Rose has to decide is she can swallow her pride and independence to accept Declan's help... and perhaps even learn to trust again.
I loved this book. The start of a new series, On the Edge brings us an exciting new world, blending myth and fairy tales with the world we live in. the author does a great job at bringing the characters to life and making them seem real - faults and all. I'm always on the lookout for a good new series, and I'm happy to say that I'll be continuing with this series, eager to find out what happens next with everyone, but especially Jack, George, and William.
