This is the final book in an excellent trilogy. Call
of Fire and Breath
of Earth were the preceding volumes. I would recommend reading them before reading
this book. This book wraps up the
adventures of Ingrid, a geomancer, and her beau, Cy, an inventor.
Cato does a good job of weaving social commentary into steam
punk fiction. Fenris has a secret and
Cato makes it clear that a rigid societal structure can prevent an individual
from reaching their potential. Ingrid
faces prejudice due to her skin color and her gender. Cato makes it clear that talent should be
seen and lauded regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.
The story brings into play the ambitions of a adventuristic
Japan with history as a guideline.
Theodore Roosevelt adds color to the story albeit in a minor role. The fantastics, creature of imagination also
add color and interest to the story.
I enjoy Cato’s books and highly recommend this series and
any other of her works.
Deep
Roots, Wings
of Sorrow and Bone, The
Deepest Poison, The
Clockwork Crown and The
Clockwork Dagger are all worth reading.
Click on the titles to go to my reviews.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
