After listening to the sample and hearing music I decided to use one of my credits. The sound effects and music in this audiobook enhance the story. This book sort of reminds me of the expanse and the witcher which is kind of weird when u think about it but after listening to this it eventually makes sense. Some people are born with magic while others are not so lucky. Soldiers don't seem to be gifted and those with magic are in higher positions like the captain. There's a lot of action. The author seems to have made up a bunch of new words....they are hard to follow but some were catchy. I liked the interludes a lot….the music is beautiful. It took a little longer than I wanted to learn about the characters but maybe book two will focus more on them. Courtney's voice is another good thing. Some narrators sound like robots and kill the story. She was engaging and caught my attention right away.

It's a yowie...not a bear!

I'm usually not a fan of sci-fi/fantasy stuff. I mostly like psychological thrillers, but with covid going on I have more time stuck at home and gave this a chance. This sci-fi book is an exception because it's full of mystery. I was hooked from the start.

That crazy bear/yowie creature Flint hunts in the beginning was creepy. Bears are not native in Australia and Flint knows this. Joey is superstitious and thinks it's a yowie which is sort of like big foot or something like that in Australia. Mysteries like this are scattered throughout the book. The biggest mystery is Flint. He's a futuristic gunslinger/cowboy and can't seem to remember his past, so he needs help from aboriginals using dreamtime to rediscover himself. The aboriginals in Australia reminded me of American Indians...clever. At first I thought the whole story would take place in Australia but there is so much more. I don't want to give any spoilers here.

Overall the story is compelling and Flint's journey was very entertaining with a few twists that I couldn't predict. I'm not really familiar with steampunk stuff but feel there should have been more. The fuel was cool though. I wish my car could use that lol. Martin also did a decent job narrating. I recommend this book especially if you are a sci-fi or fantasy fan.
