There is a new threat to the Kingdom of Jackals, and it comes in the form of the invading Army of Shadows. The Army leaves desolate wastelands in its wake as its bizarre creatures pillage the land to supply the needs of their Masters. It is up to Molly, Oliver, the Commodore, Coppertracks, and young Purity Drake somehow to stop the Army, defeat the Masters, and save their world. VERDICT If you have any interest in steampunk at all, this series (The Court of the Air; The Kingdom Beyond the Waves) should be at the top of your to-read list. Hunt builds a world that is a perfect mix of the industrial and fantastical. The society is delightfully skewed, often brutal, and horrifyingly believable. High-stakes mayhem and cunning social commentary work very well together and make for amazing page-turners.-April Steenburgh, Endwell, NY (c) Copyright 2011.
