Kaye Wagner really got me hooked. They say not to judge a book by the cover, but I love the cover. From there, you’re treated to a science fiction classic, with touches of classic mystery. Mixing old and new, this genre meshing novel puts you in a three part story that is nothing short of interesting. Once you start, you will not want to put this one down. The metropolis is vivid, full of energy and this steampunk ideology, and Detective Kirin ventures through with an iconic characterization that I appreciated.Part mystery, part science fiction, and all gusto, I really enjoyed the nuances in the twists and turns that come alongside. I love the fantasy, and like the way the colorful and imaginative story unfolds through the lens of “Bladerunner”, “Escape From New York”, and even a little bit of “Omega Man”. Those are the things I thought of as I read through Wagner’s descriptions and stories. I saw that there’s more volumes, and I’m definitely going to be looking into them as well. If you’re a fan of science fiction, thrillers, and detective stories, here’s a helping of all those genres into one.
