(Which, also, I realise is a massively convoluted way of explaining the plot.) Which, obviously, leads to them to go all-or-nothing on a second fight, to each get out of the debts they’re in. When the mecha she bet on loses, she still owes, so she follows Zhi in an attempt to get out of it. The story follows Kas, a junior researcher come down to Old Earth, who ends up embroiled in a con by Zhi, accidentally betting a lot of money she doesn’t have on a mecha fight. At once a self-contained story, but that leaves you wanting more of the world, it’s a book I highly enjoyed reading.
Kirkus Reviews on The Fall of the Readers Wexler is an exceptionally good writer, period.If you’re looking for a novella that you can devour in just a few hours, Hard Reboot is for you. Booklist on Ship of Smoke and Steel Three cheers for a female protagonist who demonstrates strong leadership skills without losing the prospect of love or friendship. has another engrossing winner on his hands. Kirkus Reviews on Ship of Smoke and Steel Wexler. The characters are well-developed, and diversity?in ethnicity, ability, and sexuality?is abundant. beautifully constructed with tantalizing details that evoke a variety of cultural influences. Scott Lynch, author of The Lies of Locke Lamora A gripping, fast-paced fantasy enrapturing readers until the end.
The world is sharp and unforgiving, the mysteries are deep, the action is harrowing and triumphant. Fonda Lee on The Shadow Campaigns series Ship of Smoke and Steel is a brisk, gritty adventure starring a heroine with genuine agency and power, despite the overwhelming odds stacked against her. There's no time like the present to lose oneself in the military and political struggles of the Vordanai Empire. Charlie Jane Anders on The Penitent Damned A standout. Praise for Django Wexler: Warning: You'll probably be hooked on Wexler's insane 'flintlock fantasy' worldbuilding.
