Captain Talis just wants to keep her airship crew from starving, and maybe scrape up enough cash for some badly needed repairs. When an anonymous client offers a small fortune to root through a pile of atmospheric wreckage, it seems like an easy payday. The job yields an ancient ring, a forbidden secret, and a host of deadly enemies.
Now on the run from cultists with powerful allies, Talis needs to unload the ring as quickly as possible. Her desperate search for a buyer and the fallout from her discovery leads to a planetary battle between a secret society, alien forces, and even the gods themselves.
Talis and her crew have just one desperate chance to make things right before their potential big score destroys them all. (Summary from Amazon)
I really enjoyed this novel. It's steampunk/sci-fi/fantasy which is a new combination to me, but it works really well. It took awhile for it to click for me, but once it didn't, I couldn't stop reading.
For me personally, the first couple chapters were a bit...much. There was a lot happening and lot of information being thrown at you and it's a bit overwhelming. However, once you just sink into the world that RJ Theodore wrote, it all becomes slick and amazing. The world is just fantastic and all of the lore explored is great.
The characters are fantastic and really well thought out. Plus, their interpersonal relationships are so interconnected and there is so much history that isn't explained until certain spots or at all. There are about three things that happen in the book that I never saw coming, which I won't tell you about, because spoilers.
I really, really want to read the next book in this series because I need to know what happens.
