Narration Supposing Books Riveted (The Iron Seas #3)
The New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Duke and Heart of Steel returns to the Iron Seas with a riveting new adventure of steampunk and passionate romance . . . A century after a devastating volcanic eruption forced Iceland’s inhabitants to abandon its shores, the island has become enshrouded in legend. Fishermen tell tales of giant trolls guarding the land and of seductive witches who steal men’s hearts. But the truth behind the legends is mechanical, not magic—and the mystery of the island a matter of life and death for a community of women who once spilled noble blood to secure their freedom. Five years ago, Annika unwittingly endangered that secret, but her sister Källa took the blame and was exiled. Now Annika serves on the airship Phatéon, flying from port to port in search of her sister and longing to return home . . . but that home is threatened when expedition leader David Kentewess comes aboard. Determined to solve the mystery of his own origin, David will stop at nothing to expose Annika’s secrets. But when disaster strikes, leaving David and Annika stranded on a glacier and pursued by a madman, their very survival depends on keeping the heat rising between them—and generating lots of steam . . .Point Books During Riveted (The Iron Seas #3)

I don't know what to say about this book that probably hasn't been said better by other reviewers. I loved it. The world-building isn't as intense as The Iron Duke, but the author makes good use of the foundations she built in the previous books. What is especially wonderful about Riveted is how different the story and the characters are from her earlier books. Even being set in the same world, the main characters in Riveted are very different types of people than ones we've seen before. Even
The thing I enjoy most about this series is that it's a very well balanced mix between the romance and actual story. The stories are usually swashbuckling adventure jaunts within a rich and engaging steampunk alternative history Earth. This book, Riveted, was no different.I enjoyed the juxtaposition between sociological views in our world and the corresponding views in the Riveted world, and especially appreciated the "love is love" message that was very clear yet not too preachy.The steam and
This is only my second steampunk novel, and while I don't think this genre in general is really my thing, this author does such a great job that I would definitely consider reading more of it anyways as long as she is the one writing it. This book has a good mixture of plot, action, and romance along with a large amount of historically inaccurate mechanical ingenuity which steampunk is known for. For example, there's a giant mechanical whale that can swallow a ship whole for the purposes of
3.5 starsAnd for the second time in two days I'm writing a review for a book I highly anticipated and wanted to love. And yet again:this is not how I wanted to feel about it. I don't know if it's my mood, or just me. I mean EVERYONE adores this book. I just... liked it. Oh, well.I want to feel as if my guts are riveted together, to feel as if I would do anything just for a kiss, or a touch, or to see them. I want to feel as if I cant live without them, and if I have toif I have to live without
AudiobookAlison Larkin did a great job narrating this book. I was impressed how she could get around all of the different accents. The story itself was good. Not as a criticism, but I didn't realize that there were so many sex scenes in these books (or is it just this one). Well written, but I was a little surprised. The story itself was good. The bad guy was absolutely awful, almost too much. But enjoyed the book even with that criticism. Looking forward to listening/reading the entire series.
4.5 starsThe best steampunk romance Ive read and the best in this series....I want to feel as if my guts are riveted together, to feel as if I would do anything just for a kiss, or a touch, or to see them. For four years Annika Fridasdottor has been searching for her sister who left their homeland when it was believed she'd put her village in danger. Now an engineer on the airship Phateon, Annika continues the hunt at every port-of-call. David Kentewess is a vulcanologist en route with his small
