- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5High stakes fantasy, and pirates that have magical powers!! A slow-burner but amazing!! Can't wait for book 2!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5adult/teen action/adventure-fantasy series fiction (teen with magical powers sets out to steal a slaver "ghost ship" in order to save her sister in a fantasy Asia-esque world; she likes men but gradually falls in love with a brown-skinned princess)
strong female characters and action-filled plot, with interesting twists and world-building. Pay no attention to the title (thanks for nothing, Marketing!) as there is not that much smoke, and no one cares much for the steel. "Ghost Ship" would've been more apt. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An awful lot of worldbuilding going on here, in an entertaining way. There are different “Wells” of mystical power; our heroine possesses one that lets her make lightning swords out of her arms. She’s eking a living out as a mob enforcer, keeping her sister in a respectable house, when she’s grabbed by the Empire and sent as a sacrifice to a ghost ship, with the mission of taking command of the powerful ghost ship or her sister will suffer the ordinary fate of pretty young girls without protectors. The ship itself seems to be something like a haunted mystical computer. She falls in with another young woman whose well is healing, which is reviled because when it goes wrong it creates plagues and worse. Romance, adventure, and further mystery follow. I liked it!
