Summary
This story follows a steampunk theme. But does deal with the subject of enslavement. The story is set in the 1800’s and the main character being mentioned, Marie drives a mechanized vehicle, which is where I feel the steampunk aspect comes in. The story also deals with zombie related creatures and people, as the person in charge of the group is described with hints of such a process. The feeling of the story indicates that this is during a major war, something similar to possibly World War 1 based on the gear that the group uses, only with a slight steampunk twist. The thing that I like towards the end is that it is not just undead creatures, but something subtly described as a dragon! Which adds fantasy to the aspect as well, as someone who has played a few variations of D&D tabletop games as well as Shadowrun I find this story fits right into that mix. If you like those games then this story is definitely something to check out!
There is no cover per say but there is some interior artwork associated with this and the style is not something that I can nail down. I do find the artwork style done well, especially for a book. It gives enough detail to show a scene but doesnt give away the whole story in a glance. The artwork mixed with the imagery that the text brings to mind as the story progresses, it brings a nice visual to the imagination for picturing the story in your head.
If steampunk and fantasy is your thing then this story is for you!
