Self-Publishing Review has a forthcoming five-star review of OPHIUCHUS FLINCHED (Tales of Ciel Book 2), which comes out one week from today (February 3). Senior Editor John Staughton has been a major proponent of the Tales of Ciel from the beginning, and it’s great to have him on the record gushing about Book 2.
Here’s a preview pull-quote:
“The writing is immersive and engaging with the same electric energy and storytelling vigor of the first book of this imaginative series, where each setting and character are richly imagined and vividly described, resulting in an atmosphere that is both fantastical and engagingly believable. The authenticity of each scene continually raises the stakes, while the thematic undercurrents of colonialism, conscription, and class struggle are immediately recognizable, with Lorimer creatively blurring the traditional binaries of Patrician, plebeian, or pirate.”
