The Olympian Affair is the second book in the Cinder Spires series. It is eight years since we got The Aeronaut’s Windlass so I reread it in September to prepare for this release. I did the reread on audio, where my initial read was in paperback. Based on the reread, I decided to read the […]
I reviewed The Aeronaut’s Windlass in 2015 when first released and read a print paperback ARC. I loved it with all the hearts. I am going to repeat my 2015 review here and follow with my update of reading in 2023 with an eARC and the audio I purchased. I am relieved I decided […]

It was with a sense of impending adventure I began […]
