I received this as an ARC.I read the first book in this series a while ago and fell in love with it. I loved the setting and the conflict that was occurring. Synn El'Asim escapes control of the Hands, four Queens that are destroying the world he loves, only to wind up being captured at the end of Book 2 by them again. However, this time he is being "trained" to withstand the bond that he accidentally forged with Queen Nix. Queen Dyna is determined to overthrow her sister. The only way she knows to do that is to show Synn how to defend himself against her since he is her weakness. She wants him for his mark, a mark that is considered to be the greatest mark ever seen, and his body. She simply has never had a man tell her no before, so she is determined to weedle herself into Synn's bed. In order to manipulate Synn, both queens set him free to create world peace. This story is about his efforts to unite the world. Of course, no one actually thought Synn could succeed, so there are problems along the way.I have been anxiously awaiting my chance to read the second book, desperate to know what would happen next with Synn. A lot of women read books and fall in love with the main male character calling them their book boyfriends. Well I am in love with Synn, but not in a book boyfriend sense. He just seems so real to me. In a steampunk world, it is easy for characters not to be real, but Synn is different some how. It might be because you get to read all of his thought processes and they show you how human he is. It could just be amazing writing. I don't know, but I can't wait to read the third book now.Read more reviews at Identity Discovery Blog.
