review 1: Oh my! This is such a fabulous story - I couldn't put it down! The fantasy world, the relationships between all the people, the fantastic villain(s), all of it added together to a wonderful reading experience. I loved how Areau had such fantastic inventions and even though I hated him for most of the book, his redemption was thorough. Dorjan and Taern had such fantastic intersections and I loved the way they were together. I adored Taern's spunkiness and determination and the way he "saved" Dorjan so that Dorjan could save the country. Absolutely a keeper for me!
review 2: 4.5 stars. This book begins with a concatenation of cruelty, loss and tragedy that made me set it aside until I was in the right place for it. But in truth, the rest of the book, although it... more has dark moments, is never again as harsh as that beginning. Once more Amy Lane has given me some very appealing men to care about and root for, and follow though a dramatic adventure. The steam-punk fantasy elements were well woven into the story, and not so prominent that they had to be picked apart or fully comprehended mechanically to just enjoy the drama. The mechanations of the powerful, who are willing to risk destroying the planet for short-term financial and political goals, rang a bit too painfully true. This is a story of a broken man healed and a hero where he was needed. I fell for Dorjan hard, and will no doubt reread his story again. less
