Fall of Sky City
Genre: New Adult Fantasy, Steampunk Adventure
In a world governed by the opposing forces of the mystical House of Tarot and the tribal Great Families, Synn is caught in the crossfire. He witnesses the slaughter of innocent people, and the devastating murder of his father. This act awakens his Mark of power, a Mark greater than any the world has seen in a very long time.
Queen Nix thought she won a great prize when she destroyed Synn’s father, the leader of the strongest Great Families. She had no idea she’d be doubly blessed by capturing his son. However, before Synn can become her treasured weapon, before she can use him to bring the rest of the world to its knees, she must break him and bind his soul to hers.
She does her job with brutal brilliance. Synn’s mind is broken and his soul is seared to hers in an unbreakable bond.
That doesn’t stop him from wanting to be free. She may have broken his mind and claimed his soul, but he will find a way to destroy her.
Experience a world of ships that sail the clouds and cites buried beneath the ocean, and survive the fiery battle brought forth by those who control the forces of nature!
Our review: Steampunk is not my normally preferred genre, but as always with a really fabulous story, it trumps everything. The characters in this book are what hooked me. Synn is compelling and so sympathetic, while the Queen is just so completely evil. . .she inspires that pure hate we reserve for the very best book villains. The story itself is worthy of these beautifully drawn characters. It kept me riveted. FALL OF SKY CITY passed the true test of a really wonderful book: I was thinking about the story even when I wasn't reading it, anxious to get back and read more. Even after finishing it, I'm still there; I want more!!
Thank you for the review! :)
