Summary

When legends come to life, the world trembles from a single name. Ronin. Once-heroes from a different age, they wield elemental powers: wind, water, fire, stone, forest, sun, moon, flesh, and metal.

At the same time, a young man discovers his best friend with a sword in her stomach and dark wings sprouting from her back. Guards rush to the scene and accuse him of the act, and he is forced to flee.

In a new world without his memories, Gray must find his way amid legends and darkness, as he wrestles with an elemental power inside himself. A power all too similar to the infamous Ronin.

Started well but descended too far into YA

I enjoyed the first half of the book, as it progressed however it seemed to become more childish. Kids beasting impossible odds, protagonist making frustrating decisions and the evil side suddenly becoming much easier to kill than at the start. Overall not for me.

A good premise but lacking continuity

As a seasoned fantasy reader I have tried doggedly to find new captivating fantasy storylines, originals like the name of the wind or the wheel of time. This book starts out well but has too many holes and jumps of narrative where you question the plot too often. Perhaps I'm just too old a head but this novel should be classified for the younger reader.

Compelling

From the very beginning Matthew Wolf sucks you into this world he has created. The details and characters are unforgettable. The descriptions are breathtaking. This epic adventure contains everything and more you would expect.
You will not be disappointed.
The narrator was astonishing. Tim brought everything to life.

Great story, fantastic narrator!

The Knife's Edge is a great story and a great start of what has to become a great series. The story is fast paced, thrilling and exciting. In the book something exciting happens on almost every page, so in the audio book this translates to almost every minute. This all without getting tiring, a great job by the author.
I loved reading the book and I loved it again when listening to this version. Having read the earlier version of the book, some parts were new to me, which was a nice surprise. As a non-native English speaker, sometimes the language used was a bit 'difficult' for me, so I was glad to have read the book first, in my own tempo. This helped especially with names of places, people or objects: I could now easily recognize them because I knew them already.
The performance of Tim Gerard Reynolds is superb, as promised by Matthew:) He is able to give the main characters each their unique voice, so they are easy to recognize and come even more to life!
Now on to the next part: Citadel of Fire!

“Any blacksmith can make a killing tool”

Great listen!
I really enjoyed this book. There’s plenty of action, intrigue and magic for everyone. Really well written and narrated. Tim does a brilliant job with setting the pace and has great easily distinguishable character voices.
Highly recommend and am looking forward to the next in the series.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
