5 stars!
Elise
Kova, talented author of the elemental magic series ‘Air Awakens’ introduces us
to a new world full of magic, dragons, and political intrigue. Part steampunk, part action-adventure, ‘The
Loom Saga’ takes place in an extremely developed alternate world of Loom and
its land-above-the-clouds, Nova. Kova
has seamlessly integrated steampunk inventions with dragons, chimera, and a
third new species, called Fenthri, into a clear to follow and fast-paced plot.
‘The
Alchemists of Loom’ is narrated, primarily, by three main characters; Arianna
(Chimera), Cvareh Xin (dragon), and Florence (Fenthri). Each is fully developed; their thoughts and motivations
easy to understand and agree with, despite some hidden agendas thrown in for
good measure. The different narrations blend
together perfectly to provide readers with a more complete picture of the story
than each character possesses on their own.
I recommend
this magical adventure to any reader who enjoys dragons, steampunk, and
fantasy. ‘The Alchemists of Loom’ will
be available from your favorite bookseller on January 10, 2017.
Thanks to Elise Kova and NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
