The Kraken King, Part 1, The Kraken King and the Scribbling Spinster by Meljean BrookA serial steampunk adventure. Steam punk at its best with mechanicals in numerous forms and usages. Innovative, inventive and intriguing. And a bit of humor in this serial adventure which adds a pretty spark to the story. I found it fascinating to imagine the airship, the walkers, and the big ugly vicious sea monster, the kraken and the town made of of the shells of the kraken. Not to be confused with the hero, the Kraken King, of course. I'm hooked and eagerly await part 2.Zenobia Fox, the author of popular serial adventures was really Geraldine Gunther-Baptiste. She is traveling as a companion under an assumed name when the airship she is traveling on is shot down by marauders. Zenobia is plucked from the sea by the Kraken King. The two strike sparks and are drawn to each other.The adventure has begun." 'Fortunately your giant shoulders and head block the sun, or I would have to pull my dress up over my head.' With a short laugh, Ariq nodded his--apparently--gigantic head."I received a copy of the book from NetGallery.
