This was so much fun for me to read, it had a really nice mix of everything that really brought together two genres and merged the ideas together well.
The characters are well-written and thought out and the book has been well formated and edited so it was nicely presented on my device which is sometimes not the case with other books.

Steven Savanna has got this recipe just right. He fills his lush terrarium of a world with all kinds of creatures, beasts, technology, science, and settings and then pours in a diverse blend of complex and intriguing characters, fertilizes it with a gripping plot, and then gently, or not so gently, stirs (and maybe even shakes). The result is tumultuous and compelling as well as really hard to set aside. As I read, I immersed myself not only in what he has created, but also wanting to read and read and know where this shake-up of science-mystery-and detective tale was going take me. As a reader I was both happily curious and surprised along the way.
