What if the technology of the Industrial Revolution was different
Not my usual but I’m glad I checked it out. The alternate history was interesting and the protagonist’s viewpoint was enlightening. Overall a good read.

N A K reviewed The Mask of Fear by Alexander Freed (Reign of the Empire, #1)
A great companion to Andor
5 stars
I enjoyed this story. Especially how it wraps up showing what political reality is at the height of an authoritarian ruler. Reading while Andor season 2 is releasing was interesting to say the least. It’s not perfect there are some parts I wonder about but if this is going to be a series I’m hoping those items are longer term setup. Overall a strong recommend.
