Balanced on the Blade's Edge by Lindsay Buroker Book Summary

Colonel Ridge Zirkander isn’t the model of military professionalism—he has a tendency to say exactly what’s on his mind, and his record has enough demerits to wallpaper the hull of an airship—but as the best fighter pilot in the Iskandian army, he’s used to a little leniency from his superiors. Until he punches the wrong diplomat in the nose and finds himself issued new orders: take command of a remote prison mine in the inhospitable Ice Blades Mountains. Ridge has never been in charge of anything larger than a flier squadron—what’s he supposed to do with a frozen fortress full of murderers and rapists? Not to mention the strange woman who shows up right before he arrives…

Sardelle Terushan wakes from three hundred years in a mage stasis shelter, only to realize that she is the last of the Referatu, the sorcerers who once helped protect Iskandia from conquerors. Their subterranean mountain community was blown up in a treacherous sneak attack by soldiers who feared their power. Everyone Sardelle ever knew is dead, and the sentient soulblade she has been bonded to since her youth is buried in the core of the mountain. Further, what remains of her home has been infested by bloodthirsty miners commanded by the descendants of the very soldiers who destroyed her people.

Sardelle needs help to reach her soulblade—her only link to her past and her last friend in the world. Her only hope is to pretend she’s one of the prisoners while trying to gain the commander’s trust. But lying isn’t her specialty, especially when the world has changed so much in the intervening centuries, and if Colonel Zirkander figures out who she truly is, he’ll be duty-bound to sentence her to the only acceptable punishment for sorcerers: death.

A Great Read. I took a chance on this book - not generally being one for books about star ships - and am really glad that I did. A lively plot, good characters, and fun writing. I would definitely recommend it!

An excellent story telling book!. I was not sure I would like this book by an author unknown to me but I gave myself 2 chapters, as usual, to help make up my mind. I was already into the first chapter and I knew I couldn't quit until I had finished the entire book! Now you get your chance to read they book and decide for yourself whether you finish it or not. I know from experience that not everyone's taste is the same.

Nicely done. Finding a new author to follow is rare enough, finding one that writes in an engaging and entertaining manner as this work displays is as surprising as finding a soul sword in the bottom of a mine 😉 The story moves along well, the character development does take a back seat to story progression, but the complete work stands up well. I'll be following the adventure and after submitting this review, I'll get the next book in the series. I suggest you do so too.

Balanced on the Blades Edge. This is a fantastic and riveting read from the get go. Although the story is a bit short, the author takes the time to develop the main characters more than enough to keep the reader interested. At the sometime she doesn't drag the story down with too many details. It moves along at a crisp clip without gaps or slow spots. As usual, Lindsay Buroker has written a book that I just couldn't put down.

Blade’s edge. A good read, lots of action and subtle humor. Makes me wish I could get to know the hero and heroine better.

Balanced. Very enjoyable read. Would love to see a book 2.

What is a SoulBlade?. Finished the first three. Good premise and great story, lovable characters, very well written. I got this as a freebie, in January 2019 I think, and I’m definitely buying the fourth book in the series. Balanced on the Blade’s Edge: A sorceress, buried underground, awakes after 300 years to find her entire civilization destroyed. Her mountain home has been turned into a prison, mining valuable resources for a society at war with an empire. She must find her sword, an intelligent magic item called a SoulBlade, and escape to freedom. As her only ally, she befriends a decorated pilot, installed as the compounds’ leader, punishment for his many years of crossing the line with his officers. Will she get free?

Absolutely loved this book!. Was very happily surprised with this story. Figured I would give it a try, and I loved it. It has a little bit of everything, and keeps you reading wishing there was more when you finish.

Lindsay Buroker has done it again!. This is my first review done for a book in which I received a copy from the author [which completely and thoroughly made my day by the way!!!!]. This review is my honest opinion: Lindsay Buroker has done it again! I don't know how she can write a mediocre book in 2 weeks let alone a great one but this is a GREAT one! I truly enjoyed this book. As a pastor's wife I always feel the need to specify a few things....this one has some sex in it folks. You don't have to read the details....skip those portions. There is some foul language as well but it is relatively minor. Overall I don't feel compromised for having read the story. This book is a change from the norm for Lindsay and a nice change. She planned this as a stand alone novel but I wouldn't mind seeing more! Thank you Ms Buroker!

Balanced on the Blade's Edge. Loved it!

Great read. Fun read, enjoyed the two persons that should not get along, find respect, have sex and help eachother survive. A win

Great Story. Worth reading!. I loved every second, and every third!!!!!

Fun story!. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

Can't get enough. I can't ever put down one of Lindsey Buroker's books; she's causing me to lose a lot of sleep! Non-stop action, a touch of romance, and Lindsey actually knows how to write. I was afraid her characters would be cookie cutter copies, but they are well-developed amongst all the action. Her plots are full of variety too. I think I have all her e-books now, but it's almost 2am; I'd better save the last two for after work tomorrow.

Balanced on the Blade's Edge. An exceptionally well constructed book. Good mix of fantasy and character imagery. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this author and i will see more of her works. Thank you very much ... GOOD JOB!

Fantastic read!. Seriously, don't waste another second thinking about whether you want to read it or not, just read it (and be very glad that you did).

Outstanding great original story and adventure. Great

…always the whole package…. Lindsey never disappoints- always the whole package that includes: Stunning Adventure - well written yet flawed characters - facing heroic battle peppered with hilarious dialogue and - lots of steamy attraction.

Great Adventure Story. I enjoy sci-fi/fantasy and finding new authors, and Lindsay Buroker is a new favorite. Great storyteller, puts her characters together well and the story never drags. A real find for me.

Balanced on the BLADES EDGE-WOW! 👍. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and what a find. I loved the story and what developed between the two main characters (Saradelle and Colonel Ridge)- Now I want to find out what this story holds in the future, for them and what this new world holds in store from this author’s imagination. (5) STARS ALL the way! By Cincy Kid 68! Thanks

Entertaining Read. Looking forward to more with these two characters.

Balance on the blade dragon blood book 1. An awesome read better than most free reads. Thank you and keep them coming. I rate this read a high 4/5

Strong read. Epic story with a prison twist! Read it!!!

Great. Can't wait for book two!

Balanced on the Blades Edge by Lindsey Buroker. A terrific read with amazing characters named Ridge and a great Sorcerer with a sword named Jaxi. Definitely time for hot popcorn and a cuddly place to read all night long while being entertained with an exceptional series that wins hands down compared to just watching a movie. Gotta go cuz my next book is waiting for me to begin reading. KSW

Balanced on the Blade's Edge. Oh, you write characters so well. I fall in love with them instantly. Wonderful, adventurous story. As always I'll be back for more. Thank you.

Good read. A good book, I liked the main characters, story was ok, it looks like a good start to a series.

Great start to a new series. I don’t know how Lindsay Buroker does it, but another series of hers has me drawn in to a believable and yet fantastical world. A slight note of caution was that there was a bit more romance than I go for in books usually but this not a romance novel so please don’t be put off by this comment. If anything, the fact that I still read through, am giving it 4 stars and am starting the next book proves that the romantic aspect doesn’t get in the way. Another series by this wonderful author is underway! As I said before, how does she do it?!

Enjoyed it but not as much as other reads from this author. Great alternative reality. I just didn’t like the romance aspects. Previous books I have read from this author have been great sci-fi with plenty of sarcastic humour. This one didn’t quite deliver

Ms. A great story. Looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

Recommended. Good quick read, ending rushed a bit.

Loved it. Well written, good fun, great characters!

I positively loved it.. What an awesome read. I read it in a day. Simply couldn't put it down. Thank you.

Balanced On The Blade's Edge (Dragon Blood, Book 1). Humorous, interesting, good development, great "world" setting....I will buy more books by this author.

Balanced on The Blade's Edge. Fantastic book that I couldn't put down. Writing was witty and humorous and the author knows how to capture her audience. Didn't come off "cheesy" as many of the books that deal with magic swords and a sorceress often do. Excellent read for the late teens through adults.

Balanced on the blade,s edge (Dragon Blood, book 1). Loved it couldn't put it down, have to get some sleep now good night.....

Balanced on the Blade’s Edge. I love that while this book was short, the author did an AMAZING job at creating a detailed and mysterious world that vividly describes how the lives of two protagonists entwine together. This book is different from the type of books that I read, but I found the story to be breathtaking and exciting. I LOVE IT!

Balanced on the blades edge. It was a very enjoyable read.

Delightful. I've never read a story quite like it. Took a few chapters to get into it, but many good books are like that. I enjoyed the pure escapism and will look for more work by this author.
