Lost interest. Neither charters not story were very engaging.

I adore Eason's writing style, but cult plots aren't my favorite thing to read.

The Weep duology is the most fun I’ve had reading in a long time. A fast paced adventurous romp with tons of action. A lovable set of characters with a found familyish feel investigating rebellious, cultish intrigue, fighting their way through all kinds of foes: tech, magically animated, or political. This is the thrill ride to measure the rest of my 2023 reads against. A perfect escapist read. Fans of role playing games, SciFi enthusiasts, and readers who love deep, quality worldbuilding will find lots to enjoy here. And the end, I’m hoping it’s a teaser for another installment.

It's a good sci-fi/fantasy book that I liked. It's well plotted, the world building is well done and the storytelling excellent.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

First, I'd love to thank the author and Goodreads for a great copy of a book, a win in a giveaway, and a very fast reward in the mail. A read I thoroughly enjoyed even though it was book two in a series I didn't get to read the first book in. After finishing the books there are some things I must note:
I will be a life-long fan of all the books K. Easton writes, watching when new books are released.
I have to buy a copy of the first book in the series as there are things I know I missed from not reading the first, Night watch on the Hinterlands.
I can't wait to read the next book in the Weep series.
Easton is one of the most creative, imaginative and inventive writers I have read. She is at the top of my most imaginative list of all authors, the characters, and plots she creates for her stories are something I never thought of, never heard another writer conceive of. I had never heard of aritomancy before reading her books and found it to be somewhat of a scientific way to magically look at the world. As our society increases in knowledge so must our reading and this inventive world is definitely a step in that direction, taking us into a whole other level of sci-fi writing, an advancement into the future of where we can go creatively, an expansion of the imagination and mind.
The characters and society created are ones that readers can wrap their minds around, and then wrap them around again and again as the different species of Confederates, rogues, and separatists are re-introduced (from the first book) and new ones, are led on a new adventure with lari and her team of templars as they investigate underground ruins with a mysterious, haunted past. The cast of characters are unforgettable and devoid of what one thinks as human which is what made the book great, it was so out of this world! I love reading about new concepts, ones that I haven't thought or heard of others thinking about. K.Easton has one of the most unique minds I have ever read!
I kept wanting more and more throughout the book and one thing I will say was that it was a hard read for me. Maybe it was the fact however, that I had not read the first book in the series. And, while I normally never read books out of line like that, this was my first win in a Goodreads giveaway and a new situation for me. Plus, I really can't indulge in buying books I am not sure of. So, I was determined to read a second book in a series, something I have never done before, without the first. And, while you want to read Easton's book in order for the optimal satisfaction out of the books, (not out of order, like me) I just had to read a little slower and some parts over, for better understanding, to find myself a fan at the end of the book. Thank the gods I entered to win!
While this arena of sci-fi is new to me, I have never read books about aritomancy, the cast of mechanical characters Easton employed new too, but the whole adventure still had that same fantasy/adventure feel as the group had to seek, find and solve a problem and did so in Easton's own, inventive way which I loved, now a new, forever fan who waits impatiently for more in the future! Lol! I strongly suggest sci-fi/ fantasy fans take a peek here, in the Weep series, for something I find quite different than I have been reading but quite enjoyable!
