The Censor's Hand

Excellent book. Great main characters and a real page turner. I loved the plot and would recommend this book.

This book got me hooked from the very first page! I got this book as a read now arc from netgalley and I was not disappointed from reading about it.

I adore books about magic and this was not an exception! It was unique, refreshing, and unlike any magic novel I've rad in a long time.

The book follows Miranda, Daniel, and his brother Jonathan in their journey of mystery, conspiracies, and murder.

You won't want to miss it!

This is an dark and epic fantasy that on top of being entertaining and griping, raises a lot of cultural issues.
Intelligence vs Religion, What is guilt?, Can we trust the Law?, Who should govern us?
As well as other political/social issues.
The concept of Magic being a commodity was unique and enjoyable as was the plot.
As all high fantasy the start can take a bit go getting used to but the writing is highly descriptive and captivating, I would my self submerged in the world very easily.
My only critique would be to have more back story.
As a debut novel, amazing!

Great start to a series

I enjoyed this book. AM Steiner crafted a great fantasy tale with good character development, lots of politics and some great action. My one issue was what I perceived as one of the protagonists suddenly showing a change in character. Nonetheless I liked the book and recommend it for anyone who likes the fantasy genre.

This is the first book in the Thrice Crosses Swords trilogy, and the first I have read from this author. The beginning is well laid out and really hooks you in. The story follows three main characters journey.

The flow is smooth and well developed world building leading up to more to come. A solid fantasy for the adult reader.

I was hooked very quickly by Steiner's tale in a Medieval feeling world where magic is used like a precious mineral that can be mined by the company and only manipulated by the Masters. Daniel, Jon and Miranda's stories bring this world to life. Miranda is a strong willed woman trying to break boundaries in a male dominated society. Daniel comes from the 'turbulence' and has the ambition to become a Censor, to achieve this goal he must first take a role as an undercover investigator in the death of a censor. While he is away, his Brother, Jon Miller gets caught up in local resistance while trying to keep his mill afloat and support his family. I'm looking forward to reading the next book and discovering how their stories unfold. This is the first book I have read from this author, and it won't be the last, thanks to Net galley for the opportunity to review it.
