“Steeple has really left me wondering what chaos Kenstibec will bring to the third book and Jon Wallace's imagination has shown me that if the sky's the limit”

Fantasy Book Review
the action is tense, the violence is gruesome and the science-fiction is engaging. in other words, it's every bit as good as its predecessor The Sun
