review 1: Who knew I would enjoy a serial this much? Fortunately for us readers, Meljean Brook spent time making each release something of a short story or novella. These are not 25 page reads, but are much more satisfying. This segment sets up the relationship between hero and heroine, and includes a misunderstanding that keeps their relationship growing much more slowly than otherwise would be the case. We also get to see a new and crazy creature, and how the aboriginal people have much more control over Australia in Brooks's steampunk universe.
review 2: I received a digital copy in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley. I am writing this review for books 1-3 since they are interconnected as a serial. The Kraken King books are actually book 4 of the Iron Seas s
... moreeries so make sure that you read the previous books The Iron Duke, Heart of Steel, and Riveted because there are some details that Meljean includes in the Kraken King books that may throw the reader if they haven't followed the previous installments. For fans that have read the previous three books getting these additions are nice little nuggets to find for those that like to have a connection to the previous books in the series. I very much suggest reading the books in order otherwise it can be very confusing and a reader could fast become very confused or lost and lose the chance to read a really great series. Although the books don't end at the third Kraken King book many plots get tied up and at the end so that there is some fulfillment but there are plenty of plot hooks that will continue on into the next books so be sure to read on so that you can continue to enjoy the adventures Meljean has created. That being said Meljean has done a fabulous job immersing readers into the Steampunk genre. She has created a fantabulous world lush with so much life and vivid detail that the reader will feel as if they are living the journey for themselves. The characters are amazing, so full of life and personality - not to mention chemistry that it sets of fireworks. I love the fun adventure following Ariq into the dangerous settings and the mix of identities belonging to characters that will keep you fully invested into the mystery and the suspense waiting behind every page and turn. I can't wait to find out what is to come in the next books. Thank you Meljean for a beautiful experience! less
