'LandQuaker'
Author Dean Wilson is writing books I’ve always wanted to read - steampunk with actual emotions and true character development. The forth book in the Great Iron War series, Landquaker is by far the best. I've been following this whole series with great enjoyment as they're filled with the perfect mix of adventure, mystery & war! Once again the characters in this book are great. For example, a wonderful new addition to the cast of is Nox - a conjuring cowboy full of surprises. With prose that is silver smooth this story is truly full of "Hope" ;)

'The Cogs of Alusura'
This steam punk adventure "The Cogs of Alusura" by Sidney Lotto, tells the take of when a princess becomes Queen after the murder of her parents, and then she and her husband set out to find the killers. The problem I had with this book is the spelling and grammar. The reason why spelling and grammar are so important is because they portray a book in a manner that focuses the reader on the plot and the enjoyment of the story. Authors would want to display care and attention to detail by using correct spelling and proper grammar. These are all valuable traits that readers look for in a good book. That being said, the story was good and I'd expect better in the future from this author. I received this book as part of a book club in exchange for my unbiased, honest review. 3/5

'Skyshaker'
From the land to the sea to the sky, the Resistance take flight to the city of Blackout. This is the third book in the series, so If you haven't read the previous two novels, I suggest you get them. This and has all the suspense and drama as the previous two and reveals more about Jacob and Whistler. The ending had me gobsmacked! As always, I would recommend any of Dean's work to lovers of Steampunk.

'The Ice Orphan of Ganymede'
'The Ice Orphan of Ganymede' by author Leonardo Ramirez tells the tale of a sister and brother, named Callie and Ian, who travel to Jupiter in search of a cure. A steampunk series for children, this is the second book in the "Jupiter Chronicles". Readers who delighted in Leonardo Ramirez's first book will be entranced by the familiar cast and usual wit of the characters. Behind this delightful fantasy story is a great deal of heart and soul. I read this aloud with my son, and he liked it almost as much as I did! I loved this book for its fast-paced action, charming characters, and being enjoyable to two generations at the same time.
