A swashbuckling steampunk fantasy with airships pirates, fae, goblins, and more!
I stepped outside of my comfort zone on this one, and I am so glad that I did. Reading Echoes of the Imperium was like getting swept up in a pirate-y, steampunk-y RPG world (to my gamer heart's delight!). The characters are unique and lovable, even for swashbucklers that I wouldn't have considered to be very "cuddle-y" characters in person (if such characters existed in real life). We get tons of action right off the bat, and the pacing was quite good, for the most part. You can tell that a ton of thought went into both the plot and the character development, which made the book very immersive. It was a dense read, for me, due to the unique use of language (in a good way), so it took me a while to get through the book, but it was certainly worth it. What a talented couple (literally) of authors!
