I couldn’t stop reading so I decided to give you guys 2 reviews in one post.
First, my thoughts on The Girl with the Iron Touch:
In this book, the gang is back in London and after everything that has happened, the adventure still isn’t over. Trouble seems to follow this gang anywhere they go and the events that transpired in this book have been the most disturbing so far.
First things first, based on the title, it’s obvious that the main focus of this book is Emily and her special ability to communicate with machines. As it was mentioned in the blurb, Emily is kidnapped by automatons and you will not believe the reason why. I am not going to spoil it for you all though but it does have something to do with the group’s nemesis. He might not be entirely gone after all.
However, the story showed just how strong Emily is as a person. We get to know the girl behind the brilliant mind and what has happened to her in the past may shock you. You wouldn’t think that a girl with as big a heart as Emily has been hurt in the past. Knowing this and seeing her drive to still love has made me love her all the more.
Another character that is going through tough times in this book is Griffin. In the last book, he was attacked by this dark spirit while he was in the Aether. He didn’t know what it was at the time but now, he does and it’s not good news. Griffin is being haunted and it is taking a toll on him and his budding relationship with Finley. However, Finley takes matters into her own hands and does her best to help Griffin, especially after Emily is taken. Oh and just so you know, there is a lot more action in the romance department in this book. Use your imagination.
Now, there is a new character that we meet and she was also pretty integral to this book. This is the character were first “introduced” to in Jack Dandy’s novella but we get to know more about her in this book. Her name is Endeavor 312 or “Mila”. Take note of this girl. She is not what she seems but she was an interesting character to know and I hope to know more about her in the next book.
All in all, exciting story line, romance is blooming and the nemesis back. The gang has a lot on their hands.
Second, my thoughts on The Wild Adventure of Jasper Renn:
In The Girl with the Iron Touch, Jasper doesn’t come out as much because a friend of his called on him for help. This novella tells us who that friend is and what she needed help with.The friend is Wildcat or Cat, one of Jasper’s flings from across the pond. She had come to London to look for her sister. When she came up empty with her only lead, she went to Jasper for help and sparks started flying once more.
In this novella, we get to go into Jasper’s mind as well as Cat’s. These 2 feel something for each other but yet keep on pushing each other away. The chemistry is so obvious! But things ended up going very well for these guys and the gang now has an additional member.
Let’s see what the last book in the series holds for the gang. I’ve already started reading and things are already going wrong.
That’s all for this post. HAPPY READING!
