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.

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.

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.

This is actually the first book of the Serrated Edge series I picked up, and while I did finish it suspecting it was part of a series, I feel it can be read as a stand-alone without missing too much. Elves don't figure as prominently in this one (as I recall, it's been a few years and I lost my copy) as in the others, being the main focus was on the racer-boy and the half-kitsune half-dragon girl. While I really couldn't picture some parts of it (i.e. racer-boy's dragon mentor and company traveling to certain places), it was interesting enough to hold my interest with the ideas presented. Perhaps not the best I've read, but I think this book will always be a pleasant memory for the inspiration it gave me, and the fascinating take it presented on urban fantasy.

Geez...has it really been four years since I got this book? I still love it. Between the kitsune (I love FX, he's the greatest!), dragons, dark elves (okay, elves in general), and that great racer mage Tannim, you are never bored! This book reads about as fast as a Mach-1 Mustang drives! Straight to high gear! A must for anyone who loves fantasy!

What do you get when you mix a racer-mage, a beautiful 1/2 dragon and the dark elves? One of the best and easiest reads there is! The story is told so well that you just wish this stuff really happened. I can't recommend it enough, you won't be disappointed.

i've read 'em and loved 'em all, tannum is cool, shar is hot and the plot is totally great. my only question is are there going to be anymore??!! its been four years! i certainly hope so.

I loved this book--it's what got me so interested in Mercedes Lackey. Even if you haven't read the other SERRAted edge novels, get this book. I'm loving it!
