Review

A stunning blend of steampunk setting and poignant romance - smart, sexy, breathtaking, and downright addicting (Ilona Andrews )

Meljean Brook has brilliantly defined the new genre of steampunk romance (Jayne Ann Krentz )

Product Description

Meljean Brook, 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 is 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 K�lla took the blame and was exiled. Now Annika serves on the airship Phat�on, 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 . . .



Riveted by Meljean Brook is steampunk romance at its very best . . . and steamiest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steampunk with some steamy sequences 14 May 2013
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I love a Steampunk novel that brings not only Victoriana to life as it should have been but also brings the tempestuous aspect of a romantic and wild love affair to the fore. This title from Meljean not only does this with a smart and sassy heroine but gives the reader solid pace, great twists and cracking world building thrown in.

Add to this an author who understands not only her target audience but loves to entertain and you know all round that its going to be a book that will be hard to put down. Finally throw into the mix a huge arc that doesn't answer all the questions (which leaves things open for future outings) and all round I was more than happy I made time for it. Great stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sensitive and well-told 3 Feb 2013
By sandi22
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first steampunk novel I've read, and I should really have begun at the beginning, because Riveted is in the middle of a series. However, it works pretty well as a stand alone novel and I was impressed by its imaginative narrative and excellent characterisation. The main protagonists are both sympathetic and finely-drawn and their actions believable. I particularly liked the way the author has avoided the usual sterotypes when it comes to romantic leads- both characters are vulnerable and driven by their complicated back stories. Sometimes it felt as if there were too many minor characters in this, but I did enjoy the novel and would recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfull 27 Oct 2012
By Maria
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really loved this book. It's interesting, well-written and fun, while at the same time adresses some serious issues without becoming pompous. The world-building, always a make-or-break point in fantasy, is vivid and the Iron Seas world comes across as both fascinatingly foreign and oddly familiar. The heroine is smart, strong and independed and at the same time vaulnerable and feminine, the hero charming and intelligent without coming across as weak. Both of them are frankly and unapologetically romantic, which was refreshing; I read romance novels and I sometimes feel it is taboo for the people who want and search for love to find it, as if one has to stop caring about finding a partner in order to deserve to have one. I also appreciated the fact that, while both of them have realistic flaws, those did not detract from their general awesomeness.
