5.0
This is the second book I have read written by Jonathan Weiss, and I absolutely loved it!
Molten Flux is Book 1 of The Flux Catastrophe Series.
We follow Ryza, a conscript onboard Revance (a moving fortress) as he carves a name for himself, all while trying to keep his past a secret from those onboard.
Considering Ryza's past, he is a plucky character and full of grit and determination. I couldn't help but love this character, the more I read about him and experienced what happens (and happened!) to him!
All the characters are very strong and ranged from me loving them to me also absolutely hating them for their actions (and for good reason at times).
Once again, the steampunk landscape that Jonathan creates is rich and intriguing. It's a world that if Jonathaan wanted to, he could easily expand into even more new stories. It also weirdly reminded me a bit of one of my favourite TV series, Firefly - which is an honour, as I love that show!
The introduction of Origin the arcanite was great, and I love that little critter, even if at the start the little guy was bathed in mystery...
As always, Jonathan crafts a fantastical world and keeps you on your toes! For me, this book was a medium read as if it felt a nice pace to digest everything that was going on without it being overwhelming - there's always something going on!
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to start Book 2 later this month!
If you love steampunk, fantasy, sci-fi, or all 3, then this book is for you!
Fantastic read!
