A review by ria_mhrj
Steel by Anna Hackett

adventurous lighthearted fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

I always feel terrible when I didn't like something by an author who has brought me a lot of joy in the past, but sadly Steel and Hellfire both felt flat for me, and there wasn't a compelling sub-plot or fun secondary characters to win me over as can often happen with Anna Hackett's books. Of course I will be reading Excalibur and counting down until Hex, but I hope both books will be a bit more enthralling than Steel.
