Fun, fun ride. Amaranthe is a hoot, Sicarius is the mysterious and totally attractive assassin (as he was crafted to be, I acknowledge), Sespian is the well-meaning emperor who finds himself unable to do anything thanks to a certain Commander. The rest of the team have their own quirks as well, a...
Took me a little bit to get into this one as I couldn't remember all the characters, actions from the previous books but once I did - I couldn't put it down. Action? There's action galore in this one - up to and including a Kraken! Yup, this brought to mind 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and I lov...
I would've finished this book a lot faster if it held my interest more than Plants Vs Zombies' online first person shooter game on my Play Station 3. (My newest addiction.) This is the 4th installment in this series. It was overall an entertaining read and I can't say I loved it or I hated it....
I have to say, this book was a nail-biter. I nearly jumped out of my chair and started pacing when Amaranthe got kidnapped at the end of book 4. And then to see Major Pike show up? Well, I knew it was going to bad. And it was, indeed, very bad. Things did not go smoothly for Amaranthe this time a...
first I have to say: Mrs. Buroker has a knack for cliffhangers ... although I normally hate them she places them perfectly (which I can say easily because all the books are already published!)this books shows us Sicarius POV and it is perfect and amazingly done. during the first 5 books we learn ...
An action-packed close to an excellent series. A fun mix of the A-Team, MacGyver, The Three Musketeers, and everything in between, I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a fast-paced, slap-stick, crazy ride that will have you rooting for the good guys (which ever those are).I see th...
It's no secret...I love Sicarius. I'm thrilled to have even a few pages devoted to him, but even though this was to have been a "Sicarius POV" story, it is far too short to actually contain anything other than observations on fight scenes. My favorite part of this novella is the glimpse into Sesp...
These short stories helped me through the long months between reading Deadly Currents and Deadly Games. They feature Amaranthe working with various team members. I particularly liked The Frozen Water Trade with Amaranthe and Sicarius working for an old school friend of Amaranthe. This one delves ...
This was a nice new twist on the popular magic/ sorcerer theme. I enjoyed the fresh story line and the writing was good enough to keep me entertained though not exceptional. I will say a plug for the second book in the series which was a bit better in writing and overall. I would recommend this t...
