Amaranthe, Sicarius, Books, Maldynado, Akstyr, and Basilard (one of the later additions) are back in Dark Currents, the sequel to The Emperor's Edge. A solid group that runs from the law while trying to redeem themselves, the Emperor's Edge stumble upon a worthwhile venture. Tainted water and dead bodies soon have them trekking off into the mountains searching for the source, discovering more about each other as they go.
Buroker did not disappoint in this fantastic sequel. The known characters are still beautifully portrayed and all of the new ones intriguing as well. As far as character development goes, the book is still focused primarily on Amaranthe, but on Books as well. We find out more about Sicarius's back story and his and Amaranthe's relationship continues to develop. Buroker also sheds some light on Basilard and his country, and Akstyr's magic is put more to use.
All in all I found the book to be engaging and unlike a lot of sequels, it is no less of a good book than the first.
