Echoes of the Imperium by Nicholas Atwater, Olivia Atwater
4.0
I received this book as an eARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read and review this swashbuckling adventure!
I would recommend that before you read this book, you read the prequel novella, A Matter of Execution. It’s not necessary to understand Echoes of the Imperium, but it does set you up mentally for it.
The authors did such a great job developing these characters and giving them so much depth, I really enjoyed how unique each of their personalities are. This eclectic cast is a crew on a pirate ship and their adventures give off major Firefly/Treasure Planet/Atlantis: The Lose Empire vibes. This is very much found family in action.
This book was quite fast paced (until around 75% where it does slow down, but it picks back up again at the end) we have a smuggling agreement gone terribly awry, airship battles, hidden identities, unholy aether, betrayal, goblin overlords (underlords?), not-quite-necromancy, otherworldly Fae... this book had so much going on (in a good way)!
I recommend this book to those who enjoy steampunk fantasy, pirates, fae, and serious socio-political topics like imperialism and the consequences caused by it. The found family trope is prevalent.
