This is Book 1 SABRE. Part 1 - The Shattered Oath.
The book follows Todd, who is forced to join the ranks of The Royal Skuas and assigned to the legendry Sabres.
This steampunk world is in the middle of a revolution, and of course, this breeds evil.
What can I say about his book?
Well, for starters - for 208 pages, a HECK of a lot is packed in there! It seems every single page holds action and interest, so you don't lose interest.
I did find that I took a little time to get into the book, but this was purely due to the fast pace. Usually, other books of this genre are a bit slower (!) but when I got into the book, I thoroughly enjoyed it - definitely wasn't bored!
Todd is a great character for this story to revolve around as he is young and you'd think, impressionable but... he is not. It's really great to see him develop slowly.
The world that has been crafted is very dark and is very much like it is described - gothic, which I enjoyed.
As the story is split on land and also on sea, there is a lot of room there for C.S. Wood to expand the world, which I am intrigued about!
We leave on a bit of a cliffhanger, so this Bookstagrammer is watching out for Book 2!
A fab read and start to the series!
