Paranormal/Fantasy
From Goodreads:
As
powerful magic comes creeping back, dangerous days are dawning…...
Criminal
Investigation Division inspectors Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko were lucky
to make it out of their last mission alive. Since then, strange troubles have
plagued the city of steam and shadows, apparently as a result of magic released
during the CID inspectors’ desperate interruption of an ancient ritual. The
fabric of the world has been unsettled, and the Council has assigned Mikani and
Ritsuko to investigate.
They soon discover that matters are
worse than they imagined. Machines have developed minds of their own, cragger
pirates are raiding the seas with relentless aggression, and mad elementals are
running amok. As the chaos builds to a crescendo, Mikani and Ritsuko must fight
a war on two fronts—and this time, they may not be able to turn the deadly
tide….
I loved Bronze Gods, book #1 in the
Apparatus Infernum series and was looking forward to seeing Janus Mikani and
Celeste Ritsuko again. The two
partners are once again put in danger.
This time they are sent north to find out what is causing the elementals
to break free. They find much more
than they expected. While the
danger is a larger part of the story the relationship between Mikani and
Ritsuko plays another important part in the story.
While the characters continue to be
fleshed out so does the world Mikani and Ritsuko live in. There is additional information about
past history and the physical features that play an important part in the
story.
The book does not end with a cliff
hanger but it does end with Mikani and Ritsuko in danger because of their
actions in finding and stopping the damage the elementals are causing. It is a great set up for book 3.
Silver Mirrors does not do that well as a stand-alone. Read Bronze Gods first.
Ace Fantasy published Silver Mirrors
