Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Vivacious Valkyrie - Marta:*Copy Gifted in Exchange for an Honest ReviewPart seven of this rip roaring adventure that grabs the readers attention and then steam rollers through all our preconceived notions of what a steam punk novel should be! There's only one episode left after this and I'm beyond anxious to read it. This part has everything you can possibly imagine in a book and then some. Pick this up and be prepared to lose all track of time until you begrudgingly finish it because once started you won't want to stop reading!Our intrepid and quite industrious heroine Zenobia has found adventure and love. Ariq known as the Kraken King has married her according to his peoples customs and now together they face yet more danger as Ariq strives to save the people of Western Australia from war with the Nipponese. Ariq knows the location of the ultimate war machine and is determined that no one gets their hands on it but sometimes secrets have a way of being found out!In this instalment we see our favourite couple struggling against so much insecurities that I just wanted to bang their heads together! O my giddy aunt has there ever been such a pair of insecure people written about before? So many misunderstandings and well quite frankly a basic lack of trust. Zenobia had an incredibly hard time growing up but really should stop running away from the depths of her feelings for Ariq and as for Ariq well I just wish he would see himself as the good deserving man that he is. This couple really need to learn to communicate more and not just in the bedroom! Which incidentally will have you turning on a fan as the author takes the passion into the stratosphere!Do not be misled though as action and drama dominates this tale and it was so incredibly hard to read at one point that I really thought I along with these wonderful characters could take no more! The level of suffering endured was torturous to read about and I for one sincerely hope that retribution is forthcoming!This has turned out to be an enthralling read that has completely blindsided me with the intensity of feeling I have for these characters. Fans of the author will be pleased to see the appearance of favourite characters from her other books but for me it's Ariq and Zenobia who hold my attention riveted.I have no idea what will happen next but there's a few clues left like breadcrumbs for us readers to follow and I'm very hungry! Yes I'm hungry for more!
