Roar of Sky by Beth Cato

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.
