The Ghost Rebellion by Pip Ballantine, Tee Morris
3.0
I got this book in a giveaway and as such, won't say much bad about it. There's not really much bad to say about it anyway, it's just not really my cup of tea.
I think if you like steam punk, you'll probably enjoy this series, the authors had some fun word play and the story follows a standard spy thriller formula. I would suggest starting at the beginning of the series as there is no explanation for anything; it's just assumed you know what the weapons are, who the characters are. It's very much book five in a series. That being said, if you like the genre, you'd probably catch on pretty fast.
It could have had another pass with an editor and considering it's a Kickstarter thing (It mentions its Kickstarter audience in the dedication), I feel like it would have had the capital up front to not skimp on that before publishing, but it's pretty clean for something self-published, although enough to pull me out of the story a few times while I'm otherwise trying to figure out what's going on.
Anyway, if you like the Victorian era locations and references, steam punk, and spy thrillers, you'll probably like this book, but maybe go back to book one.
