Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

On a recruiting mission for Fairgrove Industries, test driver Tannim Drake becomes embroiled in a battle between feuding dragons and Unseleighe fairies. The latest adventure in Lackey and Dixon's "Serrated Edge" series features fast cars and cold iron in a world where elves-both good and bad-have found a niche in modern America. Car chases and magical duels abound in this fast-paced adventure, which should appeal to fans of cross-world fantasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!, May 18, 1999

This review is from: Chrome Circle (The Serrated Edge, Bk. 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my favorite of the Serrated books. It tied up a lot of loose ends, as well as creating new ones. Talk about great characters! If you've read the other Serrated books, you need to read this one. Was I the only one to catch that mention of Deke Kestrel? Or am I the only one who has also read the Diana Tregarde books? Anyway, this book is a wonderful additon to your library. And if you've already read all the Serrated books, try the Diana Tregarde ones. They are just as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mercedes Lackey does it again., April 8, 2003

This review is from: Chrome Circle (The Serrated Edge, Bk. 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is absolutely the best of the SERRAted Edge novels, and works excellently as a stand-alone as well. Great characters, great development, great surprises, great magic, great humor, great adventure, great dragons, great mages, great ending. The only thing missing was the elves! AND--this is a miracle for contemporary (or even not-so-contemporary) fantasy--there are no overdone gratuitous sex scenes! The entire book is great. I want a sequel--not because the story was unfinished, but because it was a cursed good read, and left the perfect openings for a good sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breath of fresh air for the earthbound fantasy reader., July 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Chrome Circle (The Serrated Edge, Bk. 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is worth keeping with all of those that just stayed with you throughout the years. Not only did I enjoy it, it's plot and the relationship that it has to this world returned a little bit of wonder back to our mundane society. Don't get me wrong-but Lackey's rendering of how the elves have situated themselves so easily into our society makes you want to go to a race track, watch the cars pass by and think softly to yourself...I wonder...But of course, back to the real world. It's a wonderful book for those who just want to escape without going too far. A definate read.
