I received this book for free from Netgalley and Publisher/author in exchange for honest review.

I LOVE STEAMPUNK books and I was excited to get my hands on this one.

Lets start by saying I love Steampunk. This book was very good. I highly enjoyed it.. I loved the world building in the book. It really gave you that feel of steampunk. The author did a great job. It was full of adventure and left me wanting more.

Wind Reapers is the second instalment in Raquel Byrnes’s thrilling Blackburn Chronicles.
Charlotte Blackburn is a hunted woman. With the help of Tesla, she is barely masking the effects of the trembling sickness. Desperately trying to find Ashton she is thrust into dangerous situations by those who seek to use her. With little choice, she trusts Sebastian Riley, sheriff of Outer City, to help her.
Pursued by the Order of the Sword and Scroll and running from the furious reaper clan, Charlotte and Riley travel through the Wastelands, risking life and limb to find a device that could bring an end to their precarious world.
I was once again awed by the author’s talent and this wonderful book. The character development in the last book was my favourite aspect, in this instalment the author takes it to another level. The author does not do black and white characters. They all have their flaws and when an author can make you sympathise with the villains you know you are reading an exceptional talent.
I could go on and on about my love of this author but then I would be holding you up from reading this series. If it’s not already clear, I highly recommend this book. Get reading!

Wind Reapers follows the adventures of Charlotte Blackburn. I jumped into this series on book 2 so I know I missed what facilitated Charlotte being in the midst of the Wind Reapers. That being said, I was still able to quickly find myself caught up in Byrnes' amazing style of storytelling.

Charlotte is being hunted because she has managed to survive the sickness known for creating its victims into Tremblers, a zombie like creature that thirsts for heat/warmth. If she is captured, she is sure to face torture and/or death. Doing everything she can to survive, Charlotte finds herself in possession of a device that can destroy the Tesla domes and it falls on her to keep it out of the wrong hands and if that wasn’t enough, she uncovers a plot to try and take over the country.

Steampunk at its finest! Wind Reaper is a SOLID 4.5 Stars! Clean, action intense and emotionally connecting the reader, my only regret...I didn't start with book 1.

I received this copy of Wind Reaper from Pelican Book Group. This is my honest and voluntary review.
