Steampunk meets mythology in this story of a people who have left a destroyed earth long ago and are on a clockwork type planet . every year a dance is done to honor the pattern but a dancers misstep seems to have thrown the planet into chaos. The prince, his top advisor, a guard, some automatons,and a group of rebels help her find the real truth of why their world is failing and how to help.

This was interesting and unique!A captivating story with great premise and some good twists!Imre is strong and independent! You can easily connect with her and like her!I have many questions after finishing it!

Oh boy, this one was quite an experience! In The White Pavilion, we follow Imre, who is dancer in Tierra Mejor and what happens after she fails to complete a traditional dance and a series of events transpire after that. I’m going to start by saying I absolutely loved the world, I mean it was very steampunk and I absolutely loooove anything steampunk, but it gets even better, while the world is all technological, I mean they basically live in a planet that was created when the world was coming to an end (seriously, so awesome), it’s not super high-tech, hence the steampunk vibe and there’s actually a pretty strong religious belief in their planet(?), let’s call it a planet, and it’s interesting how that clashes and is combined at the same time, with the technology of where they live. I will admit that while the main plot and the world had me absolutely hooked, I found the pacing to be a little more on the slow side and I felt like sometimes some events were not really adding much to the story and the narrative was also quite interesting, even if it made me a little confused at first, but it’s told from the first person, except that it’s told like from the future, so the narrator knows what happens and so every once in a while we see other people which gave a little extra to the story. I did like how Imre had more than one love through the book (and she’s even bi-sexual I want to say, which was pretty cool), which was different from most books I read where there’s just one love interest, speaking of LIs, I just wish the main one had been a little more developed, I don’t know it just felt like it came out of nowhere, even if it says it didn’t, but I wish I had seen it a little better, but there’s another book and hopefully we’ll get to see more of them there. I’m definitely very curious to know where this series takes us next and am already looking forward to the next book.

The White Pavilion is set in a dying world and combines elements of dystopian scifi and steampunk. It follows Imre, a young dancer, who fails her most important dance at a religious festival and is brought up before the regent : He makes her a member of his household before a religious group can get her hands on her. Imre is a quiet heroine - with her we discover that there are much bigger things going on and that the world she lives in is in fact, dying.
I quite enjoyed it, the story was fast-paced and the heroine likeable. Most interesting to me was the unique world build and I look forward to read a next installment withhin the setting.
