This is the second and final book in the Of Metal and Wishes series. This was a well done ending to that series but didn't provide quite as much closure as I would have liked. Additionally parts of the book were quite sad, so it wasn't a real âfeel goodâ book.
Wen has transferred to being a medical assistant at other factory in the Ring. Now she is at the factory where weapons are made. She still spends time with Bo, but mostly dreams about Melik...the Noor who escaped. When she finds out that weapons production is being increased and war on the Noor is iminent...she leaves the factory to travel out to Melik's village in an effort to warn him of the upcoming battle.
However, things are complicated for Wen as a foreigner among the Noor and the battle machines on their way to attach the Noor are deadly indeed.
My main complaint is that this story felt incomplete and was almost more of a sketch than a story. It's a quick read but left me feeling a bit dissatisfied because nothing was really resolved.
Overall I did continue to enjoy the world, the characters, and the steampunk elements in here. However the story was a bit sketchy and unfinished feeling. I did enjoy it and am glad I read it but also felt a bit disappointed.
