By Fire Above: A Signal Airship Novel | Robyn Bennis
8 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Rip-roaring new adventure in Robyn Bennis's military airship fantasy series that Patricia Briggs hails as full of sass and terrific characters. "All's fair in love and war," according to airship captain Josette Dupre, until her hometown of Durum becomes occupied by the enemy and her mother a prisoner of war. Then it becomes, "Nothing's fair except bombing those Vins to high hell." Before she can rescue her town, however, Josette must maneuver her way through the nest of overstuffed vipers that make up Garnia's military and royal leaders in order to drum up support. The foppish and mostly tolerated Mistral crew member Lord Bernat steps in to advise her, along with his very attractive older brother. Between noble scheming, under-trained recruits, and supply shortages, Josette and the crew of the Mistral figure out a way to return to Durumonly to discover that when the homefront turns into the frontlines, things are more dangerous than they seem. Full of sass and terrific characters. Great storytelling. Loved it. Patricia Briggs Marvelous, witty and action-packed steampunk with exquisite attention to detail. Bennis's writing is incredible, her vocabulary impressive, and she honest to God made me believe you could build an airship from spare parts.New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Ann Aguirre At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not as great at the first book and definitely had its lulls whereas my favorite part of the first was its pacing. The characters were still enjoyable but I didn‘t care much for a lot of other things in the novel from the worldbuilding to the airship technicalities.

Reading on my break. These egg bites look a lot better in the ads than in person.

“They behaved rudely, got drunk as fast as they could, made inappropriate advances, and invented all sorts of improbable stories that exaggerated their own personal heroism. In other words, they had at last become proper Garnian soldiers.”
