When streetwise Molly Templar witnesses a brutal murder at the brothel she has recently been apprenticed to, her first instinct is to run back to the poorhouse where she grew up. But there she finds her fellow orphans butchered, and it slowly dawns on her that she was the real target of the attack. For Molly is a special little girl, and she carries a secret that marks her out for destruction by enemies of the state. Oliver Brooks has led a sheltered existence in the backwater home of his merchant uncle. But when he is framed for his only relative's murder he is forced to flee for his life, accompanied by an agent of the mysterious Court of the Air. Chased across the country, Oliver finds himself in the company of thieves, outlaws and spies, and gradually learns more about the secret that has blighted his life. Soon Molly and Oliver will find themselves battling a grave threat to civilization, an ancient power thought to have been quelled millennia ago. Their enemies are ruthless and myriad, but the two orphans are also aided by indomitable friends in this endlessly inventive tale full of drama, intrigue, and adventure. The Court of the Air is a rollicking adventure set in a fantastical Dickensian clockwork universe that will appeal to fans of Susanna Clarke and Philip Pullman.

A fresh and customary Victorian-inspired fantasy : The Court of the Air
Where to start with The Court of the Air? maybe by saying that I stayed up most of the night reading this fantasy novel right through. It's written at an epic scale, and reminds me a minute of George Rr Martin when he was starting out with the Game of Thrones series, sharing some of the writer's errors in the early stages - Martin's diplomatic over-reach and cramming too many ideas into the pages. This also shares many of the same strengths, though, with a world that's as real and fully developed as Middle Earth, albeit a strange twisted Victorian-level society with many of the trappings of the fantasy. The author does a astonishing job of presenting a large set of well-developed and convincing characters. Let me conclude by saying I am categorically looking send now to reading the next novel in the Jackelian series. A gripping novel for fans of the fantasy genre.
