An Alchemy of Masques and Mirrors by Curtis Craddock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fun steampunk romp with airships, partly mechanical men, a feisty female, a questionable groom, and power hungry kings and queens.

Review: A Cold Treachery

A Cold Treachery by Charles Todd
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

I love this series. It is written by a mother and son duo and I think that gives so much emotional depth to it. The Inspector is struggling with shell shock and memories of WWI as he attempts to find his place back in the normal world of Scotland Yard and find a way to have a fairly normal life outside of it. Since he has a ghost living in his head, it ain't easy.

Colorful characters, vivid descriptions of the lesser known countryside of Britain and Scotland, and convoluted plots made more complex by people who lie for many reasons, most of it not at all related to murder.

I was not sure at all who was the culprit in this one in particular.

Review: There Before the Chaos

There Before the Chaos by K.B. Wagers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hailimi Bristol, former gunrunner, now Empress of Indrana, has been manipulated into agreeing to head up a peace summit, to stop a war before it starts. Things go downhill from there.

I love Hail and her bodyguards and her friends. The action is great, the plotting is complex and the world building is intriguing.

Highly recommended for those who love Space Opera.
