The wheels and cogs of the Great Iron War keep turning. Resistance keeps resisting and the Iron Emperor with his mighty Regime is powering on with force.
Landquaker is the 4th book in The Great Iron War series of dusty magnificent steampunk, featuring characters I got to know in the first 3 books with some new interesting ones introduced. I have to say, I can’t wait until the Worldwaker to finally meet the Iron Emperor… I hope I meet him…
This instalment was more around war strategy and action than the previous three books in which the sideplots strongly focused on the much needed personal demons the characters were fighting. It has been a steady yet solid pace of character development over time in an environment where the enemy will not waste a second to pull the trigger.
It has been a while since I last read the 3rd book in the series and when I started Landquaker is just nodded to myself:”Ah, yes, that brilliant flawless writing of Dean F Wilson.” There is plenty of action, plenty of descriptions of people and places that fit perfectly with the genre and guarantee a good reading experience.
In every review I have written for this series, I have complimented on the cover art and again, it doesn’t disappoint. Even though we’re looking at weapons, they look beautiful.
Overall: 5 well deserved ***** because the book (the whole series this far) is consistent, well developed and well written.
