The characters are developing very nicely. I really like Alisha and Leonids. Mica is also special. Lots of action in this book, but it also has a theme of the pointlessness of war. This comes through the wit and humour. Really recommend it...more

Yes, I do see similarities between this and Lindsay's Emperor's Edge series, but I loved the characters and the stories in EE, so I am thrilled to do it all again in space. I finished the book wishing that the next was available. It is that good. The characters are fun and I see a possible slow-burning romance! I love slow-burning romances! The action was great and the mix of tropes just what I have come to expect from one of my favourite authors....more
I loved this book. It is a fantastic adventure with lots of humour and nail-biting tension. And such an expected twist at the end. Brilliant stuff. SoI loved this book.

The action is sKali and Cedar finally have their happy ending, but not before they are put through the wringer in this final book in this fun series. The action is swift and exciting, with a fantastic air battle and some of the really good steampunk/magical constructs I've come to expect from Lindsay Buroker. This really was a fitting ending to the series. I will miss Kali and, especially, Cedar....more
I have read every single one of Becca Andre's Final Formula series and have loved every single book in turn. Yet of all her books, this unexpected novI have read every single one of Becca Andre's Final Formula series and have loved every single book in turn. Yet of all her books, this unexpected novella is the one I have enjoyed most. Perhaps the reason is simple: I adore Ian, the main character. I loved seeing his early life with his scarily powerful brother Lex. I had heard so much about Isabelle in all the other books so it was a real joy to meet her—and what a feisty girl she is. No wonder her death sent Ian into a spiral from which he never really recovered. As I sailed through the pages of this novella, I kept wishing that Becca would write a series set in this time with Ian, Isabella, Lord Dunstan and, of course, the crazy Lex. It is fascinating to see how much we are prepared to overlook for those we love. If Ian had acted to contain Lex when the boys were thirteen as he should have, then none of the drama would have happned—but then we would have been robbed of a magical series. I can't wait for the next book....more

There was no tension because Rakel and her forces were truly invincible. Sad, because I enjoyed the first book very much....more

He iThis is rapidly becoming my favourite Lindsay Buroker series (surpassing even her Emperor's Edge series) I love the characters, especially Yanko. He is my perfect hero —powerful as all hell, but totally unassuming. Not to mention a complete clod when it comes to women. I read his exploits in this book with pure joy, reveling in every misadventure. I cannot wait for the next book. Thanks for another thrilling ride, Lindsay. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review....more
