I've read Fanning's books before and just loved them, so I was excited to read his take on a steamage post-apocolyptic novel. I wasn't disappointed! In a world where steam is the staple of energy, protagonist Annie is a tough, determined woman who isn't afraid of anything. A mechanic and pilot, she tries to make the most of her life and seems to be pretty happy.
She's taken on an apprentice, Perky. Perky seems to like helping Annie with the mechanic repairs but also has stars in her eyes. She's happy go lucky and at only seventeen, has her whole life ahead of her. But when a regiment of cloned soldiers begins to infiltrate their town, the two girls run. Not because they are afraid, but to get help from other military units from a land they've never been to before. With their help, Annie and Perky plan on fighting back and restoring their own piece of happiness.
With memorable characters, riveting and at times, lighthearted dialogue, and a wonderfully built world, The Cyclone Wars is thoroughly entertaining and page-turning. Quick paced, keen writing and a unique world set the tone for this sure to be highly desired novel!
