Wow! BENEATH A FEARFUL MOON received a very nice five-star review over the weekend.
Not sure about the braces, though! |
This
was my first steampunk book and it won't be my last. The character of Aubrey
Hartman was engaging, and likable without being a pollyanna. She also has some
depth to her character which was teased at in this novella and I'm hoping that
in future books we learn more about here time in the Cimarron. The inclusion of
Fae into a Victorian-esque setting works extraordinarily well thanks in no
small part to the author's style which I can best describe as descriptive
minimalist - which is a good thing and points to a writer who chooses words
carefully to maximize their impact. Beneath a Fearful Moon was the perfect
introduction to a genre rich with colorful aesthetics and more colorful
characters. I cannot wait to return.
While we may get more background about Aubrey’s time in the war (on the Cimarron Fields) there probably won’t be a full book about it. One such story already exists: Grenadiers and Dragon’s Fire was published in the anthology Gears, Gadgets & Steam (Tinkered Tales Book 1).
The braces look pretty steampunky to me! She better be careful not to shoot herself in the forehead, though.
