I feel so lucky lately. . .I have had such a great run on amazing books. I have to admit though that I really didn't think I would like this one, and only downloaded it because I like the title. . .Make Like a Tree and Leaf, ha!Athel wants nothing more then to free herself from the constraints of being a princess and see the world. She joins with a Navel fleet but before she can make her escape the Queen, better know as her mother, shows up with her new husband Alder. He is everything she never wanted in a man, and she lets him know. Together they will have amazing adventures on the Dreadnaught and its very unique crew.I feel like I have been repeating myself a lot in my last few reviews, but it goes to say that once again I have found a book that is like nothing I have ever come across. Everything about it is unique, sure there is magic just never in a way I have read before. It was so weirdly amusing, that seems like the best way I can describe it, and I would like to say I'm very happy that it wasn't written about sparky vampires. . .I've had enough of that to last a life time.With all the different races of people I thought it would be hard to keep track of everything, but it was surprisingly easy to know who did what and all. Each and everything character was amazing, they all had their own quirky personalities and everyone fit in with each other great.One of the first things I did was check to see if the next book was out. Not because it left off in a cliffhanger, because it didn't, but because I really wanted to keep reading about everyone. I'm happy to add Aaron Yeager to my list of authors I keep a eye out for new works.Would I recommend this book? Oh yeah, and I can't wait to find out what will happen next!
