The Fractured Empire by Robin D. Mahle
5.0
Fantasy with a touch of steampunk = I like!
I will admit that Adelaide got on my nerves in the beginning. She acted antsy and quite selfish, and I wanted to shake her a bit. However, after peeling off a couple of layers it became easier to understand and sympathise with her.
I love Adelaide's and Clark's interactions and bantering! They make an odd "couple", but the attraction between them is evident.
I also enjoy Clark's relationship with his brothers, Xavier and Gunther. They're all adopted, so there's no bloodline, but they argue and protect each other like "real" siblings usually do.
We get both Adelaide's and Clark's point of view, which I appriciate since I feel closer to the characters. It also makes it easy to keep on reading when you've finished a chapter. The fact that a lot of things happen makes it even harder to quit reading, since I want to know what will happen next! Now I need more!
