Rook by Sharon Cameron

Sharon Cameron's new novel Rook is one of those books that brings together a mix of successful qualities that had my rubbing my hands together in delight.

A Reimagined Tale of The Scarlet Pimpernel - Historical Meets Post-Apocalyptic

The setting of Rook feels much like a historical, think Georgian-era, yet is actually set in the future after a decidedly chilling catastrophe has struck Earth giving the book a grittier, post-apocalyptic feel.  The story takes those fascinating elements and adds to them a sort of retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel.  From the hellish catacombs beneath Sunken City to lavish country estates, from the blades deadly edge to a symbolic feather, Rook is a fantastic read!

New challenges that I had not anticipated for both Tella, her team, and their beloved Pandoras gave the story and even steeper edge. I was on pins & needles worried as the tension just kept mounting.
