Description
Charlotte Blackburn—Hero, hunted, the unwitting symbol of a dark rebellion—she thwarted the deadly intent of the treacherous Order of the Sword and Scroll, but at a shattering cost. Now, she fights to survive among a tribe of fierce Wind Reapers who troll the wasteland aboard massive metal walkers. But a new storm is brewing and Charlotte is once again the linchpin in a deadly plan.
Sebastian Riley has one goal: Help the citizens of his floating Outer City to survive the Ashen Croup, a terrible affliction that drowns victims in their own lungs. But help comes in the form of the infamous Lady Blackburn, a woman wanted for treason who is determined to run headlong into destruction to prevent a coming war—even if it means reaching out to those who want her dead.
Pursued by the shadowy Order and hunted by the furious Reaper clan, Riley and Charlotte brave the monstrous hordes of decaying Tremblers and the terrors of the Wasteland to stop the bloodshed and secure a mysterious calculating engine—a device that can bring about the destruction of an entire nation.
With brutal forces gathering against the unsuspecting citizens inside the Tesla domes, a vicious scientist intent on capturing Charlotte for his experiments, and the whole of the country in deadly peril, one of them must make a sacrifice too terrible to comprehend.

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.

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!
