Merchant, industrialist and explorer Trassan Kressind has an audacious plan – combining the might of magic and iron in the heart of a great ship to navigate an uncrossed ocean, seeking the city of the extinct Morfaan to uncover the secrets of their lost sciences. Ambition runs strongly in the Kressind family, and for each of Trassan’s siblings fate beckons. Soldier Rel is banished to a vital frontier, bureaucrat Garten balances responsibility with family loyalty, sister Katriona is determined to carve herself a place in a world of men, outcast Guis struggles to contain the energies of his soul, while priest Aarin dabbles in forbidden sorcery. The world is in turmoil as new money brings new power, and the old social order crumbles. And as mankind’s arts grow stronger, a terror from the ancient past awakens... This highly original fantasy depicts a unique world, where tired gods walk industrial streets and the tide’s rise and fall is extreme enough to swamp continents. Magic collides with science to create a rich backdrop for intrigue and adventure in the opening book of this epic saga.

The world building is staggering, both in a geographical sense and the author's unique treatment of tropes like undead and fairies. One of those slow burns that doesn't actually burn because you're imagination is so busy taking it all in. The characterizations are strong, many harboring both demons and interesting motivations. Prose is eloquent. The history is rich and mysterious, you can't wait to find out more. When magic or monsters or action sequences appear, they are quite impressive. We're talking China Mieville levels of innovation and vision in this one. I am totally smitten. Now comes the long wait for her second novel...

The author spends quite some time developing it so it seemed alive and I got lost in the book reading (one of those where you just have to stay up late to see what happens next). I enjoyed the character development, the strong female characters, and look forward to seeing the next edition, insofar as this definitely ended with a cliff hangar.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Neat world By Henry L. Lazarus K. M. McKinley starts an epic tale set on an ancient world, Ruthnia, that has seen numerous civilizations rise and fall. It is a world of two moons, of the Tyn, enslaved magical beings; and of steam power generated from magical sands. It is a world where horses are extinct and dogs, some of whom speak, have replaced them It is also a world where ghosts walk unless released by Guiders. Most of the Gods were killed two centuries before leaving only the God of Drink. A lot of technology has been rediscovered from ancient cities, and the discovery of an untouched city in the far, frozen South sets off a race among the hundred kingdoms. We follow six Kressind siblings. One designed The Iron Ship (paper from Rebellion), one is a playwright who suppresses his magical powers after he blinded one eye of his brother who has become a Guider. One bought rank in the army and because he slept with someone’s wife, finds himself exiled to the Gates of the world. And one takes over her husband’s factory, not approved for women in this Victorian age, and routs out corruption. This first part of the tale follows the construction of the first ship made of iron despite efforts to stop it. This is a marvelous and complicated world and I hope the sequels follow soon.Review printed by Philadelphia Weekly Press
