4.0

In Matthew W. Quinn's first installment of this post apocalyptic steam punk series the main character Andrew Sutter is living under the thumb of a tyrant, Grendel. Grendel leads an army of zealots and flesh eaters. He also has superior weapons and dirigible airships at his disposal. Andrew joins the Merrill's, a group of rebels. Will this rebel army be able to overcome Grendel's seemingly unstoppable army?

Chapters devoted to the point of view of Grendel offer the antagonist's perspective as he struggles to keep his empire intact. It was fascinating to get these glimpses behind enemy lines. Fast paced plotting and amazing battle scenes create a story that will keep you flipping the pages.

I recommend this novel to anyone looking for fast paced steam punk war story with underdogs to route for set in a desolate wasteland.

A big thank you to the author for the copy for review.
