Likewise bloody fantastic, and the only reason this didn't top the prior one in the series for me was that it gave me the squirming wobbles. Excellent immersive writing that kept me going even in a subject area that's almost exactly *not* my thing. (

This is a tough book for me to rate...it's definitely a 3.5, but not quite a 4. I liked it every bit as much as the previous Bannon & Clare book, The Iron Wyrm Affair, but I found this one more confusing and hard to follow. Perhaps that was my fault, reading it late at night, but it just didn't seem to have the plot cohesion of its predecessor. That said, I really like these characters and will definitely snatch up a further book in the series. There's a lot of very interesting stuff going on in both the setting and the lives of the characters, and I love the world the author has created. (

I love Emma. The rest of the story was fine, but I think what may keep me reading the series is her backstory. (

For me, this book held together much better than the first book featuring Bannon & Clare. I still long for more world-building, but I'm feeling more secure in what I do know about this world, and Saintcrow is giving us more hints about its history. I still quite like Emma Bannon and have come to like Archibald Clare. Emma remains the strongest part of these books to me and its for her (and the brewing conflict between her and Victrix/Britannia) that I keep reading.

Synopsis: Bannon and Clare are once more in league to save England from falling. What they find is that the red plague is a weaponized disease that leaves on one unscathed, Clare nearly dies, as does Bannon, plus they lose one of the shields and find that mystery surrounds their survival.
Review: This story still doesn't answer the questions about the beginnings of Bannon's main shield. (
