Genres: Adult, Steampunk

The war has stretched on for twenty years, and the soldiers, civilians, and nobles are exhausted. Towns grow more desolate while war technology continues to advance, leaving the rest of Kaier behind.

Felix—heir to House Leigh-Van—harbors resentment for the war that has claimed his sister’s life and his father’s ethics. Regardless, he follows his orders and is content to remain equal among his fellow soldiers.

When a routine stop for repairs puts Felix at the epicenter of a brutal attack impacting civilians rather than soldiers, he struggles to continue separating his ethics from his duty. He’s privately ambivalent but publicly supportive of his uncle—the king—when whispers of an underground rebellion start to circulate. The rebellion is gaining traction and could soon make a serious play at ending the war.

But when even the tactics of the resistance begin claiming lives as quickly as the war itself, Felix starts to wonder who will survive to see the peace they’re fighting for.

My Review:

Starting off with content warnings, and also some thoughtful directions on pronunciations and background / context information, Muralee's book impressed me with how much it looked out for the reader. Muralee weaves a superb saga around trust, betrayal, espionage, resistance, survival, victories, and the cost at which all of these come to us, as we follow Felix and his war ventures. The pace is gripping and leaves the reader engrossed in every single detail of the action zone. I'd have loved to read more on the emotional traits and backstories of several Kaier characters, and I hope Muralee builds these angles in, with a sequel soon. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and would recommend it to lovers of action adventures. I'm thankful to Muralee and Giselle from Xpresso BTfor gifting me with a copy of this book.
