This is the third book in the new Magic & Machinery Novel series by Jon Messenger and with steampunk still topping out my reading list at the moment I was excited to get my hands on this

Book 3 continues with the characters we have come to know well but the adversary comes much closer to home this time. Brilliant mix of steampunkesque Jack The Ripper this book is BY FAR my favorite of the series so far! If you haven't started the adventure yet book is FREE so really you don't have anything to lose ;) and trust me you have a LOT to gain.

It is clear but the end of this installment that larger games are afoot but as yet I am yet to piece all the things together and work it out. Very clever and very intriguing - I implore you Mr Messenger - WRITE FASTER!

Another easy 5 stars from me! V""V1 Rebecca22

I enjoyed this book and the investigation. My only problem is that this book isn't a fully resolved case. I am eagerly awaiting book 4. Sara122 7

After finishing The Golem of Solomon's Way, I had mixed emotions. I was happy that it was yet another fantastic book in the Magic and Machinery series, but now I'm anxious for book four. It does end with some unresolved plot lines, (a sort of cliff hanger, if you will) but that just makes me want to read the next book even more. Over 2015, I've read books one through three in this series, and each one is great in its own way.

Once more, I'll say I think one of the strongest points in this series is the characters. The first book, The Wolves of the Northern Rift established Simon Whitlock and Luthor Strong as a great team, and this latest installment, The Golem of Solomon's Way is no exception. What I took away from this book is the fact that Luthor is emerging as the voice of reason between him and Simon. That's evident from the way he handled certain developments in the plot, and I find myself liking him more and more in each book that has come out. And Mattie the werewolf? She's a great secondary character, and it's interesting to see her character development.

As far as the plot, instead of finding themselves traveling to some remote corner of the kingdom, this book finds the three remaining in the capital city of Callifax, investigating a series of murders in the titular Solomon's Way. In this regard, I found myself thinking of Sherlock Holmes, a comparison I made after reading book one.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and my rating is 5/5 platypires.read-for-review read-in-2015 Harold E Britt86 1 follower
