On one of many excursions into the Fantasy selections that my Nook has available for me I happened to stumble across this title, I had never heard of it or the author. I noticed that the version that I had found was the first seven chapters at no charge. The description sounded good, so how could I resist? I managed to power through those chapters in one night and quickly purchased the full version.
The story involves the fate of three siblings who are drawn into the lives that destiny seems to have laid out before them. As the children of the Emperor, they all have a part to play in solving the mystery of his assassination. I do not want to go into too much of the plot, but I will say this book never slowed down. I was eagerly turning pages (sliding my finger on the Nook) to see what was going to happen next.
I know the sequel to this novel has already hit the shelves, and as soon as I finish what I am currently reading, I have every intention of picking it up; I am confident it will occupy all my free time until I am able to finish it.
The Emperor's Blades is available through Barnes & Noble and Amazon
