My Review:
This novel is a fascinating mix of steampunk and dystopia that really swept me away. With sky pirates, a floating city, light romance, lasting friendship, and a mechanic main character (Elara), I was hooked until the final page. There was so much adventure, character development, and intriguing plot, and if a sequel comes out, I'll be interested.
One of my favorite little things about this novel: it has chapter titles! Not too many books include chapter titles these days, but they're such a small, joyous feature.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
