5By ej legendisI thought this book was an awful romance book right when I read the name Tom but when I got to reading I couldn’t stop this book is awesome.Great Story, so far
5By DaveJr79Great story so far. Recently decided i wanted to start reading more in my daily routine. Started by setting a goal for at least 30 minutes of reading each day. I was looking for a great adventure story. This novel was the perfect read for me. As I stated, I wanted to try to read at least 30 minutes a day but each time I started to read this novel, I would find myself surpassing the 30 minute goal on a regular. It was a quick read, full of escalating action and adventure. Definitely looking forward to continuing the series.Amazing!
4By PODCAST REVIEWS :) <3I am only just finished part one, but the book is amazing! I couldn’t put it down! Before you read it, now that it’s about a futuristic steampunk world where cities run on tracks and eat other cities for resources. There’s a common theme about how people are not who the seem to be! It does got kind of sad at some points, but overall, it’s so far great!Engaging but.....
3By Sam-KelleyI am confused as to the format of this book.... do I have to review to view each chapter??? I am enjoying the novel so far but I purchased this book to read while on a flight and will not be able to post reviews / access the next chapter! frustratingMoratal engines
