Review

Stella, the main character of this story, stows away on an airship that is going to heading to an uncharted area. Stella stows away on the ship so she can be with her parents that are on board the ship. Once on the airship, Stella discovers that she is not the only one trying to stow away. A boy named Cyrus is trying to do the same thing. But there is something about him that's different, something that doesn't feel right. This book is a terrific steampunk adventure. Both of the main characters draw the reader in right away, especially Cyrus. He is very mysterious which adds quite a bit of intrigue to the story. Stella is a strong female character that is clever but with enough flaws to make her believable. This is the 3rd story by the author that takes place in Solace, but it stands alone. Great read for fantasy and steampunk/sci-fi fans.

Overall Book Score: excellent
