Moseh's Staff by A.W. Exley
5.0
OH MY, I think I may be in Love! We all know I am a HUGE fan of steampunk and fantasy…Tie the two together and we have brilliance. As with all things, I have to make it difficult and read this book first – it’s the last. However, I loved it so much that I can guarantee that I’ll be going back and reading those before it, and everything else Exley writes in the future.
Her writing style is absolutely brilliant. From the start, she has a world that is true to the one we live in. By that, I mean that there isn’t just one thing happening at a time, that conveniently waits to be solved before the next problem occurs. Just like life, there are problems, secrets, jealousy, anger and bit n pieces happening throughout. Unlike a lot of authors I have seen try this, Exley has done it better than I have ever read before. She has blended the world, the characters and all the action so well that the world moulds itself around you and you are completely consumed by the story. I must say, you have never experienced a book hangover, until you have experienced the one you have from Moseh’s Staff!
I love the characters! Cara is strong, intelligent and very fun to follow. With a great willpower and the ability to stick with it, until she has gotten to the bitter end of her job. All of the characters have their own personalities and such great descriptions that I can picture them very easily, all the way to their body language and facial expressions. She has even given the evil ones the same level of detail and care, when creating them.
The pace is perfection, as it moves swiftly, throwing the world and action at you, whilst still keeping you updated with detail and extra little bits to make the world realistic.
I must say, I highly highly recommend giving this a read, especially if you are a lover of steampunk. This book, and the series are truly a MUST read!
