A rather strange mix of steampunk and sci-fi with a hint of fantasy thrown in. All in all, a rather good mix.
This is another one of Alastair’s trilogy in a single novel book, so if you aren’t in for a long haul then don’t bother. But if you don’t mind a thousand Kindle Loc points of reading to get through this’ll keep you going.
While i didn’t find it anything like the normal page turners that Alastair generally puts out, i did keep coming back to it twice a day for a little read and soon got through it.
So, while not the greatest thing that Alastair has ever written, and personally wishing he’d just stick to the sci-fi that he’s so brilliant at, it’s still a fairly good read.
Next book in Alastair’s timeline is Troika.
