review 1: The Kraken King, Part II, The Kraken King and the Abominable Worm by Meljean BrookKrakentown, Western Australia is where Zenobia and her traveling companions have been temporarily staying after their airship was attacked. She is determined to travel to the Red City by any means. Even if danger is predicted!The Kraken King, Ariq finds Zenobia fascinating and he thought he had her favorable attention, until suddenly her eyes turned cold. Something changed her mind about him and Ariq is determined to know more.This is the second part of a steampunk serial where monsters, mysteries, and mechanicals cause mayhelm. I'm enjoying it immensely. Especially because it's got some humor included. Humor alone, either subtle like here or outright will make a book so much more entertaini... moreng for me. How long until the next serial part?Traveling through the country....."Zenobia sat forward, her mouth dropping open in astonishment. The deer here could sit on the haunches and eat with their hands! A kangaroo, the governor pointed out." Well sure, without today's TV and Internet and old fashioned libraries, would you be able to identify a kangaroo if the country was new to you?I received this book from NetGallery.
review 2: Our Review by LITERAL ADDICTION's Vivacious Valkyrie - Marta:*Copy gifted in exchange for an honest reviewThis is the second part of this spin off from The Iron Seas series and brings the reader back to Zenobia Fox and her journey through the wilds of Australia. She's still trying to get her friend Helene safely to her husband but it's a struggle as smugglers and marauders inhabit the land. She's met Ariq and he is without a doubt the most tempting man Zenobia has ever met but he's not to be trusted or is he? In the harsh and forbidding landscape Zenobia will face dangers unlike any she has ever encountered but perhaps the greatest danger is posed by Ariq. He's being friendly for now but how long until he shows his true colours? They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer but which is Ariq? I'm loving this adventure! It's a wonderful piece of writing that exemplifies all that steam punk is about. From modified humans to creatures that nightmares are made of this story has it all. An alternative reality that makes the reader wonder what if? Ms Brook is without doubt one of the most descriptive and imaginative writers around and she just sucks you into the world that Zenobia is travelling through. This serialisation is well worth reading and I can't wait to see just what's next for our plucky heroine but it's not just her story as supporting characters are quite intriguing too. It's a very talented author indeed who can tell a story whilst also fleshing out minor characters and Ms Brook truly excels at this. As a reader I'm beyond curious to know what's next but I'm also really starting to care about all those involved. Well done Ms Brook and please write faster! less
