review 1: This was likable, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Akers' Burn Cycle books. I love his imagery in this tale, especially how the main character boosts her abilities by inciting myths related to her god. Akers has a wonderful talent for storytelling. The only part that I didn't like about this tale was that the main character was a little to "cut and dry" for me. It made her difficult to like, but that could have been part of the author's objective.
review 2: Excellent book with fantastic world building. Not exactly steampunk but with elements thereof. It was a romp and I rolled through it quickly. At two hundred and seventy some odd pages, it doesn't require an excessive commitment of time. The only reason my review is not a five is that for all of the wor
... moreld building done, and it is definitely not our world, some very modern and typical things come out of the main character's mouth at times that do not lend themselves to the action or scene. It was mildly disruptive. But I got over it and enjoyed the rest. less

Awesome book! Loved the cool mix of arcane and technology. Had a Blade Runner feel to it.

I liked the idea, but a Hundred Thousand Kingdoms did it better.
