Now, onto my review:
Ahhhhh…..steampunk!!!! Ahhhhh……Celtic mythology. Ahhhh…..a mix of both!!!
As you can see, I was pretty pumped about reading a steampunk/Celtic mythology novel. Like super duper pumped about reading this book and it didn’t let me down.
Theodora (or Theo as she liked to be called), was the perfect heroine and I loved her. She was the perfect combination of sass, sarcasm, angst and innocence all rolled into one. She was the perfect definition of a teenager….lol. I also liked that she didn’t even blink when strange things started to happen to her. That whole cross country flight/train ride/airship ride/floating island would have freaked me out. But not her and I admired that.
The steampunk part of the book didn’t happen until halfway through the book (when Theo and Gracelynn were taken aboard the airship). I was in nerd heaven after that….lmao. Automans, half machine/half human people, odd way of talking, a freaking AIRSHIP!!!
The romance aspect was cute too. Theo was hilarious in fighting her feelings for Victor and when she gave in, well, I laughed. It was cute….lol.
The whole Danu storyline was great too, along with the Order storyline. Lazarus was a creep and to be honest, he got what he deserved.
The ending was a bit of a surprise to me. Not a cliff hanger but it did leave the book open for another book.
Oh, and since I never comment, I loved the cover!!! It was great!!
How many stars will I give Into Aether? 4
Why? This is a perfect combo of steampunk/romance and YA. Plus it had Celtic mythology and I love that!!!
