From Kate Milford, the bestselling author of National Book Award nominee Greenglass House, comes another magical, middle-grade adventure, The Left-Handed Fate.

Lucy Bluecrowne and Maxwell Ault are on a mission: find the three pieces of a strange and arcane engine. They're not exactly sure what this machine does, but they have it on good authority that it will stop the war that's raging between their home country of England and Napoleon Bonaparte's France. Despite being followed by mysterious men dressed all in black, they're well on their way to finding everything they need when their ship, the famous Left-Handed Fate, is taken by the Americans.

And not just any Americans. The Fate (and with it, Lucy and Max) are put under the command of Oliver Dexter, who's only just turned twelve.

But Lucy and Max aren't the only ones trying to put the engine together, and if the pieces fall into the wrong hands, it could prove disastrous. Oliver is faced with a choice: help Lucy and Max and become a traitor to his country? Or follow orders and risk endangering that same country and many others at the same time--not to mention his friends?

"This world has a seductive, fairytale quality--Patrick O'Brian's Captain Aubrey series as seen through the lens of Hayao Miyazaki. . . It's impossible not to admire The Left-Handed Fate for its epic scope, joyful evocation of life on the high seas and suspenseful mystery." --The New York Times Book Review

Another Good One in the Bag
Format: Kindle
Love the change this adventure keeps taking. We go from our LitFantasy to a comic book adventure. One of the most interesting LIT tales I have read so far. The adventure continues to hold you captured and throws in a few twist. Didn’t see those 3 making an appearance in the Reapers Realm. But, no other spoilers, just read it; it’s definitely worth reading!!! Cheers 🍻 Peace ✌🏾 & Love ❤️

I love this series
Format: Kindle
I interesting powers and a funny yet cynical main character who loves smack talk and confusing everyone around him , friends included , Jason from the very first book is just thrown into the deep end and told to swim or die , in this book he's back in his world and has to save it and empower his family while protecting them from everybody around them , allies and enemies alike . It's hilarious when Jason decides to mess with people or his own family , it's a serious book as well and lots of action, he's just trying to be what he needs to be for his family and his world , while also trying to leave it a better place before he moves on the the other world he was dumped in , In his eyes he's only back on Earth to fix mistakes and leave his family better off than when he left them , oh and the world too lol . Read it from the first book to the next one in the series , you won't be disappointed, I wasn't, trust me these books are worth it .

Almost too accurate
Format: Kindle
Another absolutely amazing book in the series, it was scary how exactly on point the actions of various agencies and governments was in this book. It would all play out like this too, absolute chaos for short term gains that in the grand scheme of things mean nothing - almost felt like I was reading "Don't look up" but with gold and silver rankers. As much as I didn't like a certain character and his family, he came through and his private chat brought a tear to my eye. Great job as always, the characters are phenomenal, but like Jason - I'm really ready to be done with Earth, what a dumpster fire.

One Step Too Far But Otherwise Great
Format: Kindle
Huge fan of this series and the multiverse that it has created. I often find find myself laughing out loud at the irreverent main characters quips. I've been five stars all the way for every book so far but I had to drop a star for a very specific reason. This was the first time I was negatively pulled out of the reading experience in this series. (Though, definitely not the first time lol. That totally random, albeit delicious, recipe for lemonade pulled me out that one rime but it wasn't an unpleasant experience). Spoilers follow: Jason's final words to his dead brother's spirit were so inappropriate and crass that I very much hope this isn't the direction that Jason's character is growing toward. I outwardly cringed and had to put the book down for a few days because I wasn't sure this was a character I wanted to continue to read about after reading those lines. Aside from that it was a great book. I truly hope this was a one-off and simply poorly written vs something we can expect more of going forward. Cringe humor can be funny but there's a limit that was drastically overstepped in that line.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
There seems to be many books out there now with the fake girlfriend/boyfriend, fake girlfriend/girlfriend, or fake fiance/spouse. I actually like this particular trope quite a lot. Some are OK, bad or good. This novel falls in the last category. I really liked this book and will definitely be re-reading it sometime in the future. Tansy and Gemma are very likeable as individuals. As a couple, they have amazing chemistry very early on. One of the best things I liked about this novel is that the author doesn't make us wait until the end of the book for the characters to acknowledge their attraction. They become a true couple early on despite almost everyone thinking it is not real. The writing is well done and I really really liked the main characters. (Have I said that enough times?) There was definitely some heat too! Everything THIS woman is looking for from a romance novel. Definitely recommend. I give it 4 ¾ stars.
