Dark Currents by Lindsay Buroker
3.0
Dark Currents is along the same line as the previous book. Amaranthe and her motley group scamper around the empire trying to do good. This book features both Amaranthe, as the staple character, and Books, who is pretty much what you expect from his name. It's a solid book--pretty light on the details (like the setting)--but it's fun regardless. It's basically one action scene to the next, one crazy idea to another, and Amaranthe and her team carry everything off with aplomb (along with a few wrecks along the way).
It's a light hearted fantasy mixed steam punk book. You never expect anything terrible to happen to any of the characters, and there's no deep plot to go with it. There are a lot of things going on (it's basically a wild ride from start to finish), and I wouldn't have minded if it had slowed down in parts, but it's enjoyable. Granted, the setting still jars me at times, and sometimes events/technologies make me squint, but, eh, I can gloss over such things pretty well. 3 stars.
