Girl genius Zelda Pryce uses the arcane arts to invent beautiful machines, devices that defy explanation with the power to make her invisible and even let her fly like a superhero. They also let her to break into homes, banks, and museums with ease. But she's no thief. She's a security expert. After successfully burgling the Smithsonian, Zelda is hired to test the alarms at the British Museum in London using her copper wings and ingenious cloak. And that's where everything goes wrong.

Caught in a trap between deadly arcanist criminals and the secret agents hunting them, Zelda teams up with a dashing English riskbender and a daring French alchemist to chase a dangerous thief from Notre Dame to Castle Frankenstein to the Taj Mahal. Along the way they'll explore the magical legends and monsters of the arcane world. But if they can't catch the thief in time, every arcane device in the world could be destroyed, and thousands of innocent lives could be lost.

If you're a fan of fast-paced, young adult fantasy adventure, then welcome to the world of ZELDA PRYCE, where a Chekhov Gun is a revolver with a mind of its own and Occam's Razor is the most dangerous knife in history. At least it was, until a mad scientist made a sharper one.

4.5 stars

First things first. I received a free copy of Zelda Pryce: The Razor's Edge from Library Thing, and from the author in exchange for an honest review.

As someone who is familiar with his `Other Earth' series, I knew the basic style to expect in his writing. This author does a nice job in writing good characterizations which draw you into the story. His ability to weave the scenery is fluid and descriptive without distracting from the story itself. This is also true with this book. I really liked how this was a departure from the lore of his other series and created a new world with its own set of what I call `mystical physics'. This world, while much like the one we inhabit has a magical force that is focused into items called arcana. This arcana has its own set of rules which, while seemingly magical, has its rules (loosely) based on the lore and/or science of our own world. There is even a section after the novel itself which describes the historic references from which the author gains the inspiration for the arcana which I found very enlightening. It contained references that I knew of, and a number of which I was unfamiliar with. For example, the Chekov Gun which is described in the book was inspired by a quote from Russian playwright Anton Chekov.

Regarding the story itself, it keeps a steady pace and is quite entertaining. I liked the main protagonists, but if there was a complaint I had regarding the characters, it would be that we didn't (admittedly, out of necessity from the viewpoint of the story) get to know much about the antagonist until she played a more vital role in the storyline even though her influence is felt throughout most of the story.

All in all, I recommend reading Zelda Pryce: The Razor's Edge and look forward to future installments in the series.

It's a bit shallow, or maybe Zelda is, but I had fun -- although I'll admit, not as MUCH fun as I had hoped for from reading the sample. The plot races across Europe, but the sense of place is little more than you can get from postcards and travel brochures, and Zelda goes back and forth between being a wide-eyed tourist, disappointment that the cities are in some ways seeming too similar, to joyful relief at finding a completely familiar fast food place. (I personally remember resenting when my group was taken to a BK -- or maybe it was Micky D's -- on my one trip overseas: what's the point?!)
That's the negatives, but there are plenty of positives, too. I loved Zelda's "arcane" inventions, and all the historical, philosophical, and literary allusions in how this world's arcana are named. N.B.: There's an appendix explaining these references which I wish I'd noticed in the ToC, instead of wasting time & interrupting my reading trying to find the sources online.
The chase plot moved fast, with various devices and creatures used by both sides. The element that I had the hardest time suspending disbelief on was that a (French) government intelligence agent would allow and even encourage the participation of a naïve young American on this important race to preserve the world's arcana -- but we were eventually told that said agent was pretty nearly on her own because most governments were really more afraid of the unpredictable influence of arcana than coveting them for themselves. So okay, I guess any help is better than none.
Over all, I'd say: not one of the great works of modern literature, but I enjoyed it, and if you've gotten this far, you probably will, too.

2,0 su 5 stelle Not very interesting

While not worthless, the book is not good enough to be of real interest.

It is not really imaginative, boring almost.
The themes are very simple, with fast transitions between scenes,
the impression of the writing it " tell not show"

I bought the kindle version on an impulse and unfortunately
I am disappointed. It seems now a waste of time.

However, I do not think it was meant for my age group,
so probably American teenagers (in a good sense) who want to read a simple
book would like this one; seen from this perspective the
book would probably be worth 3 stars.

Zelda designs "Arcane" devices which are sort of steam-punk, and sort-of magic and not really either. She uses these devices to test security museums, like the Smithsonian. She's just started making a name for herself.

She is tricked in stealing something from the British Museum thinking that she is testing their security. What follows is a whirlwind adventure throughout Europe with a sidekick (who is actually an investigator...so, I guess, technically, Zelda would be the sidekick) and a reappearing/disappearing love interest.

The nice thing is the caper actually concludes in the book, although it is a "Book 1" (presumably of a series.) I would recommend it, especially for girls in their teens or older. Zelda has a nice, down-to-earth, but flawed (and not hung up on what she looks like) personality that I think would appeal to science and tech-savvy teens.

A fun story. The characters are a bit on the two-dimensional side but workable. In style, it reminds me of SyFy's "Warehouse 13" series more than steampunk or anything else. I'm looking forward to finishing up the series.
