4 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
What's lurking in the Mist is the least of their worries... In a world where humanity lives in the sky to escape a deadly mist below, Cass's only goal is survival. That is, until she finds a job on the airship Daedalus as a diver. Now she explores ruined cities, looking for treasure and people's lost heirlooms until a young man hires her to find the impossible: a way to eradicate the Mist. Theodore Winchester is a member of one of the Five Families that rule the skies. Following in his father's footsteps, he searches for the source of the Mist and hopes to stop the purges used to control overpopulation. But what he finds are horrifying secrets and lethal ambition. If he continues his quest, it could mean his own death. The Mist is rising and soon the world will be enveloped in its deadly embrace, turning what's left of humanity into the undead.

Dual POV. Absolutely fantastic world building. Steampunk atmosphere, floating towns and zombies. First half was a little slow but soon sped up. I throughly enjoyed both characters. Plot was original and intense, I didnt expect the plot twists. The ending leaves on a cliffhanger so I'm looking forward to read the second half of the duology when it comes out this year!

Her writing style is easy to read and her fantasy world is fascinating, as are her characters. As with any start of a series, the first half of the book moved a bit slowly as the world‘s infrastructure and way of life explained itself but then the plot took off at a fast pace with tons of action, drama, and suspense. But it ends on a cliffhanger!

I received the book via Celebrate Lit Tours and opinions are solely my own.
