Rebel Mechanics

by Antonio A.

     The world of Rebel Mechanics is quite interesting. It's the year 1888, and the British empire still has rule over the colonies of the new world including the American colonies. A world where the American Revolution was stopped do to the British having magic and the leadership of the the British Magisters. Underground coalition of engineers, scientists, mechanics inventing steam engines and electric dynamos to overthrow the occupation. A 17 year old lass named Verity Newton lands a job as governess for a magister family. Though serving this magister family she begins to make ties with the rebel movement and their cause. While helping the rebel cause, she also can't help but to fall in love with the her employer who is the head of the magister family. Can she keep her secrets?

     The plot of the story was very interesting to me as the author took historical events in real life and added fantasy and sci-fi elements to help fuel the interest of the novel. The dialogue was decent but was made up by the diverse cast of characters.

     For most of the book I really enjoyed reading this novel for a variety of reasons. First if you're a fantasy lover then this book would be for you. Filled with magic, suspense and action this will make you want to read this book even more. There's also elements of romance in this novel which will even entice romance lovers into reading this story. Though this is the only book and isn't a series, it's a great read and I highly suggest it.
