Why read it?
1 author picked The Bands of Mourning as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is my favorite of the Wax and Wayne series! Not only do the characters really work together in ways we haven’t seen before, but the treasure-seeking adventure gripped me tight and wouldn’t let me go. I could not put the book down; from train-top fights to secret base infiltrations, to ancient booby-traps, I was hooked the entire time.
Light humor and deep emotion in equal measure made this an entertaining read that has stuck with me more than any of the other books in the series.
From Katelyn's list on YA steampunk novels with a dash of fantasy.
