Deathmaker by Lindsay Buroker

5.0

The second book in the Dragon Blood Series is Deathmaker. It introduces both a new female protagonist, Lt. Casin Ahn, a dragon flier pilot who was captured in enemy territory. While imprisoned, she meets Tolemek, also known as "The Deathmaker", an airship pirate and scientist famous for making deadly poisons used to slaughter entire cities. The two are forced to cooperate to escape their captors.

This book was thoroughly enjoyable for me. It really is much more steampunk than the first, since we get to see lots of pirates and airships and aerial battles. I also really like these two new characters and their relatioship.

The book eventually gets around to checking in on the two protagonists of the first book, but really this is Tolemek and Ahn's book.
