One of my more delightful discoveries last year was the Steeplejack series by A.J. Hartley. A “steeplejack” is a craftsman who repairs chimneys, church steeples, and the like. In a 19th-century milieu like that of the Steeplejack series, it is … Continue reading

Bennis Brings the Blood & Thunder from Above in By Fire Above
Bennis wrote one of my favorite books last year with The Guns Above. By Fire Above may not quite reach those same lofty heights, but it is one hell of a sequel. As before, By Fire Above is one equal … Continue reading

Review of The Guns Above by Robyn Bennis
The Guns Above starts out in media res. Or maybe a little more after media res, beginning at the end of a battle. Wait, what? I wouldn’t have minded seeing that battle, but we will get plenty of that, and … Continue reading

Beth Cato’s debut The Clockwork Dagger showed promise. Its sequel The Clockwork Crown showed improvement. With Breath of Earth, a steampunk epic fantasy set in a Japanese-dominated alternate 1906 San Francisco, Cato shows she can tell a story with the … Continue reading
