Book two continues with the trio barely escaping with their lives and losing Sid's version of our modern day helicopter, but they had the dragoon's stone as its powerful magic that would help them through a difficult war. Book two ended far too soon, now on to book three! ( )

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is the second novella in the Siege series, and it’s just a good as the first book. The story picks up exactly where Battle Train Siege ended, and details the next adventure for the people we met in the first book, ending with another cliff-hanger.
While it’s nice to know more of the characters’ backgrounds, this may easily be read as a stand-alone, since the author does an excellent job of introducing the characters without being repetitive, even if you’ve just finished reading Battle Train. There’s lots of action, steam-punk devices, magic, forgery, more details of how machines work in this world, and another great fantasy tale. I’m eagerly anticipating the next installment.
I used Digital Editions on a Surface to read the epub edition of this book. The formatting and paging were perfect. I didn’t find any spelling, punctuation, or grammar errors. ( )
