This is the first book in the Burningblade and Silvereye trilogy and it was a ton of fun. The world building was unique and almost had a steam punk vibe to me. I really enjoyed the characters and the dual pov. The author did some things with these characters that I wasn’t expecting and don’t fully understand yet but I trust my questions will get answered in the next two books. 

I knocked this down a star only because some of the moments with the ff relationship were written in a way that made me giggle at it rather than be serious. It was just obviously written by a male. I think this was made tolerable by the fact that everything was fade to black. 

I love the sibling dynamic in this and can’t wait to see how the next book goes.
