Unsure if she’s a spy or a pawn in someone else’s game, Ariq isn’t about to let her out of his sight until he finds out…Īfter escaping her fourth kidnapping attempt in a year, Zenobia Fox has learned to vigilantly guard her identity. Still, one of the things Ms Brook does best is that she manages to provide enough information about the world within just a few pages so that even a reader utterly unfamiliar with the world can quickly grasp the gist, filling in the blanks as the story progresses.Ī former smuggler and thief, Ariq-better known as the Kraken King-doesn’t know what to make of the clever, mysterious woman he rescues from an airship besieged by marauders. I believe that new readers could read this story without getting lost, though obviously fans will get a lot more out of it, particularly when it comes to some secondary characters. Let me tell you that not one of those pages is filler–between action, characterization, and setting, every word matters.Īs I said, this is the fourth full length novel, but it is actually the tenth story set in the Iron Seas world. At 568 pages, this is by far the longest of the four novels so far released in the series. This novel was originally published as a digital serial starting in April 2014, with the print book coming out in early November. I probably should start with the novel that started it all, The Iron Duke, but I have found myself utterly captivated by the latest full length novel published, and so here we are. I also have all the short stories released by themselves in my phone, so I can get a quick Iron Seas fix every so often.Īnd yet, to date I have only reviewed one of the stories set in this world.
I have all the novels in print, on my shelf, where it makes me happy to look at them. I have said before that I am quite the fan of Ms Brook’s Iron Seas steampunk romance series.
