Gripping, creative, brilliant steampunk fantasy, sci-fi, thriller debut

The Sightless City is a dark, apocalyptic, sci-fi, steampunk fantasy thriller set in the post-war industrial cities of Huile and Icaria, which are surrounded by blighted wastes. The world-building is complex, detailed, original and fascinating. The main characters are Marcel, a traumatized human veteran and private investigator, and Sylvaine, a bright young ferral (furred, oft-reviled, non-human) engineering student. They are an unlikely duo, flawed and relatable, and the reader empathizes with them readily. They are initially manipulated and abused, but wise up and fight back. Even the secondary characters in this book are distinctive, fleshed out and interesting. Essentially, this is a morally complex good vs. evil story with many shades of grey. The Sightless City is well-written, with colorful and inventive language and great dialogue. A gripping, creative, and brilliant debut with a sequel hopefully on the way. #BooksForwardFriends
