Continuing where Nightblade left off, World’s Edge follows Ryuu and Moriko as they continue on their paths learning the depths of the sense, each other, and the true centers of power in their world... This story was even better than the first. More action, more happening, and the whole world coming alive in ways that Nightblade scarcely alluded to.Like other readers have noted the story moves along at a faster clip in this book and you’ll be hard pressed not to finish it in one sitting. I’m looking forward to seeing where the journey ends next year and what other new stories Mr. Kirk may have in store for us.
“Worlds Edge” is the second book in Ryan Kirk’s “Nightblade” series – which I believe is a planned trilogy. Kirk’s first book was an impressive debut and this follow up is every bit as good as the first. Both books will easily hold their own against anything else out there in the fantasy genre right now. In this second episode, Ryuu and Moriko are attacked by a strange new type of warrior and they must embark on separate journeys to try and get answers. While this is happening, the three kingdoms stand on the brink of a civil war and a new massive army from outside of the kingdoms march toward them all.Kirk continues to load up his story with new characters that are terribly interesting in their own right, all while further endearing Ryuu and Moriko to the reader. While this fantasy series might not be as epic in its scope as Sanderson’s “Stormlight Archive” or Weeks “Lightbringer” series, it is compelling in its own way. Perhaps it’s the beautifully simple magic system, or maybe it’s the impossible situations that the two main characters find themselves facing that makes them so relatable. Whatever it is, these first two books are captivating and very hard to put down. I’m excited to read the final book when it comes out and will certainly be purchasing whatever else Kirk releases in the future. This series is extremely good. Buy with confidence.
I really enjoyed this book! This was even better than the first book Night Blade. I recommend this for any fans of Night blade, or anyone who enjoys suspense, action and adventureI really enjoyed the Character Development throughout the story, mostly with Miriko. She really blossoms as a character, and I can't wait to see what happens in the third book with Moriko and Ryuu!
These three books BEG to be made into movies! I like how the Japanese flavor of this tale is subtle, not overt. There's plenty of room for interpretation. I found these books to be very engaging and often had difficulty "putting it down" to go to sleep or go do boring chores. Not only is the tale compelling, but the characters feel authentic, not contrived, but very strong. Yes, there is graphic violence at times, but this is a tale about sword-wielders, not puppies and kitties. Even though this is a trilogy, as I reflect back, having read all three, they blend seamlessly into one great tale. There's no sexual content, which I loved. Also missing, as a result, are florid overdone descriptions of the characters specific physical traits. Instead they are revealed through their interactions with other characters and in certain moments.I highly recommend this to people who have discerning taste in what fiction they read. I also feel this tale ignores the boundaries of genre. It's plain and simple--a great epic read.
This was really a great read. I gave "Nightblade" 5 stars because I loved the character development and world building that Kirk does, but "World's Edge" gets even better. As the Southern Kingdom is driven further into war, Ryuu, Moriko and Akira are each set down paths that push them to the brink. What I love most about each of these characters is you get the sense (pun not intended) that each one of them is an unfinished product. We know where they came from because of Nightblade, but even after finishing, World's Edge I don't know where they are going (which is a good thing!). Kirk never loses sight of what happens in the first book, as you see how the unique histories of each character shape the decisions they make in this story.World's Edge will keep you on your toes as the action really picks up, particularly with Moriko's storyline. I won't give any spoilers, but I love how they diverge and converge throughout the book, and as I await book 3, I'm excited to see how Kirk weaves each story back together.Truly a great read! Of course this is what I'm starting to expect from Ryan Kirk! Can't wait for the next one.
There are three books in this series. Each one can be read as a stand alone but you do know that there is another one and you want to read it also. The author knows how to keep you interested in the story line and even when he switches from one story line to the other, he keeps you interested. It is worth the read.
I started reading Worlds Edge with an anticipation that I haven't felt in a while. The first book was wonderful, and I had great expectations for its sequel, but I could never have imagined how it turned out. At every turn of a page I found myself more and more invested in the story, up until the end where I nearly burst in a mix of frustration and excitement. If you enjoyed the first book, you will not be dissapointed by the story that unfolds in this subsequent work.
