She works in secret to improve her magic, and works a minimum wage job in the Broken to provide for her family. The heroine in this book, Rose, is trying to build a better life for her and her brothers. The series also creates a unique world with more unusual ideas (fusing plants and humans?!) combining to create a lively environment for her characters to play in. Inhabitants of the edge can move between worlds, but are also looked down on by those in the Weird, and aren’t known to exist by those in the Broken.Įach book in the series follows a different couple (who often appear in the book before) and has a strong romantic flavour as well as some great urban fantasy tropes. In between the two there is ‘the Edge’, where the series is set. The books are set in a parallel universe where the world contains ‘the Broken’ (the world we currently know, where magic is a fairy tale), the ‘Weird’, where magic exists along with aristocracy and changelings. I had somehow skipped over The Edge books, perhaps because I saw they were more aimed at YA, but turns out this was a mistake, because they are just as delicious as her Kate Daniels series and her latest, the Hidden Legacy series. I enjoyed the husband and wife duo that is Ilona Andrews’s Kate Daniels books immensely.
