About this listen
A king denied. A princess restored. A victory undone.
SKYBORN (Book 4)
Ancora's survival came at a great cost, and the reconstruction is an endless task for those who remain. Jacob and Alice explore what's left of the Lowlands, discovering the lost journals of Charles von Atlier in the rubble. Between those leatherbound covers, Jacob finds a secret that could help him rebuild Ancora, but first it will lead him back to the desert city of Midstream.
Joining Mary on the Skysworn, Alice travels to Belldorn. There she encounters an unexpected ally, and threads of a rumor that carry her across the Crystal Sea. Pirates and rebels are just the beginning of her troubles as the King of Fel proves he has no intention of allowing the defeat in Dauschen and Ancora to go unanswered.
Conflict spreads into the desert as dark forces threaten to crush all that remains of the lives Jacob and Alice once knew. To protect their people, allies new and old must stand together, or a long forgotten enemy will swallow them all.
SKYFORGED (Book 5)
A past unwritten. A shadow fallen. An enemy unmasked.
Time grows short to secure the desert city of Midstream. Fel struck a devastating blow, and it’s only a matter of time until their next attack. Out of options, Jacob turns to the abandoned works of Charles von Atlier to create a Titan Mech. The towering machine may be just the weapon they need to protect the city.
But Mordair’s thirst for power is escalating. As King of Fel he is taking full advantage of his alliance with the kingdom across the sea. Together, they’re preparing a siege on Belldorn sure to split their enemies’ focus. The quest to come will be Jacob and Alice's riskiest yet as they journey straight into the heart of Fel itself.
SKYSWORN (Book 6)
An alliance forged. A tragedy unveiled. A city imperiled.
Jacob and Alice have no choice but to turn their focus to Belldorn. The coastal city is paramount in the war with Fel. Without Belldorn, and the aid of Canopy’s dragonriders, all will be lost.
The drums of war have sounded. Rumors of a resistance in Ballern draw Jacob, Alice, and Furi across the Crystal Sea. Yet as their hunt for allies continues, one truth refuses to be ignored. All paths lead to Belldorn ... and some won’t make it out alive.

Picking up immediately after the events of Steamsworn, our protagonists have little time to enjoy their victory before being thrown back into battle. I love the introduction of new characters, especially Furi, and places to visit. I still have sone niggles over the ages / maturity of the main protagonists. Perhaps it’s because I’m a more mature reader and this is aimed at a YA audience, but I find it a little difficult to believe how competent and confident Jacob and Alice, Furi and Gladys are at (I think )15, 15,16 and 12 respectively. It’s also a little difficult following the passage of time through the story, characters miles away suddenly appear to save the day. The setting is interesting as is the world that the author is gradually revealing to us, the characters are engaging, the gadgets sound fun, and the battles are explosive. All in all a good Starship Troopers meet Steampunk romp. The audiobook is well narrated.
Skyforged:
All in all I enjoyed the story, but I would love some clarification of how much time has passed since we first met Jacob and Alice in Steamborn. All of the younger characters have far greater maturity and seem several years older than I think they actually are, which detracts from the story a bit. I think I’m going to have that problem throughout the rest of the series. The story is interesting and engaging. I love the steam ships and the bugs. On to book 6 now.
Skysworn:
I still love the characters, the steam ships and the bugs, but the story all seems to be running into itself now and I’m finding it difficult to separate one book from another. I did enjoy the conclusion and am engaged enough to continue to the final trilogy of the series. I’ve done six books so I’m two thirds of the way through!
Generally it’s a good series, it just seems to be dragging on a bit.
