pickJust finished reading it and enjoyed it. It started great, I really loved the first few chapters. It didn't continue as good as it started in my opinion, way too much description of the battles, also of the actual ship. But quite a few characters were greatly done and it was a good read overall so I consider it a pick.
My TBR pile is huge but can't resist a used books sale at the library.
“These bumpkins may not care which side of the border they‘re on, but I do. If destroying some old bridge can better our odds by the minutest fraction, you may consider that bridge destroyed. I‘ll destroy their bridge, and their mill and their granary for good measure, and I‘ll do the same in every goddamn village and hamlet from here to Arle.“ #BloodAndThunder
“May I remind you that you‘re aboard an airship,” she said. “Nothing we do is entirely safe.”
He frowned. “I mean to say, where would we be if a stray spark set off one of these shells?”
She stared at him. “Technically speaking? We‘d be in a lot of places. The surrounding woods and countryside, to begin with. If these winds hold up, parts of us might even make it to Halachia.”
“Well, I‘ve always liked to travel.”
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fun, witty read that didn‘t take itself too seriously. The worldbuilding wasn‘t terribly original and I got lost in some of the technical descriptions of ships and the military, but I really enjoyed the characters and I thought the plot was well-paced (a compliment I hardly give to any books!). Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun steampunk read.
Is the Goodreads search feature drunk, or does Mansfield Park have a plot twist I don't know about?!
