![]() The plot had a very traditional feel fighting to take back something that was stolen and used for evil. I actually get anxious when somebody is in mortal danger, which happens a lot in these novels. After getting to know them more, I can't help but feel for them, and want nothing for the best for all of them (especially Whistler, he's just so young and innocent and naïve in some ways). I'll admit, I didn't really like some of the characters when I first started Hopebreaker oh so long ago. Taberah dealing with motherly duties, Brooklyn and Rommond trying to repair what the Regime has taken from them, Jacob just chugging along, finding his niche among the Resistance fighters. They are not only fighting in a war, but they are fighting their own battles as well. One of my favorite parts of Wilson's writing is the relationship he builds between the reader and his characters. What a world, what a world! There is just always trouble for our band of rebels, but you can't help but know that they are going to find a way to pull through. Landquaker earns itself 4 out of 5 stars and fills me with anticipation for the next in the series. Wilson's books are fairly fast paced and keep you on the edge of your seat, constantly wondering what's going to happen next (because when you go up against the Iron Emperor, there's bound to be a few obstacles and enemies). I read the last of the Great Iron War series books, Skyshaker, back in the winter, and got to jump right back into the world of Altadas with Landquaker without a preamble or refresher course. One of my favorite parts about reading a well-written book series is being able to pick up right where I left off, without having to re-read other books to try to figure out what is going on. Please note, I received a copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. I can't wait to see what crazy steampunk weapon of mass destruction is slated for the next book/s. ![]() The climax was excellent, but it took a lot of build-up to get there.Īll in all, a VERY good choice for steampunk readers-for anyone who enjoys a good action book, really. The story didn't move as fast as the previous books. It felt a bit out of place in the highly technological world. Not a huge fan of the "machine spirits" addition. ![]() Some of the supporting characters (Taberah, Brooklyn, and the kid) lost my interest a tad. Loved the "Great Train Robbery" feel of it all. Thrilled to find out more about the "demons" of the world. The bigger it gets, the more I want to learn about it. Enjoyed the continued exploration of the world. Many of the supporting characters (Mudro, Rommond, etc.) are still fascinating, with ever-increasing layers. He's gone from a rogue to a hero-ish character in a very believable way. Loved the continued journey of the main character Jacob. I'd have to say that each book is getting better than the last! ![]() The Hollywood Reporter was first to report the switch from series to movie.I've enjoyed this series immensely since the beginning, and this book is a solid continuation. Speculatively, based on the comic books, villains that could potentially appear in “Armor Wars” include Stilt-Man, the Crimson Dynamo and Justin Hammer, who was played by Sam Rockwell in “Iron Man 2.” The “Armor Wars” comics were written by David Michelinie and Bob Layton in 19 with art by Mark D. “Now it’s just, if something sounds fun and I’m presented with it, it’s like ‘Yeah, let’s go.'” To note, the actor’s last appearance as Rhodes - a guest spot on 2021’s “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” - earned Cheadle a Primetime Emmy nomination. It’s lots of fun.”Ĭheadle also confirmed that he’s finished with his initial contractual obligations to Marvel Studios, but noted that he’s open to additional MCU projects. “It’s kind of a thriller and a different kind of show than you usually see in the MCU, which is great that we can continue to keep changing it up and switching it up. “In the trailer, you see that he’s got to confront Nick He and Fury are gonna go at it throughout this show, as far as what they need to do, given what’s happened on this planet at this point,” Cheadle teased. On the red carpet with Variety’s Marc Malkin, the actor explained how the two projects are tied together. At the D23 Expo in Anaheim earlier this month, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige stated that “Armor Wars” would follow the events of “Secret Invasion,” the MCU TV series set to debut in early 2023 on Disney+, in which Cheadle’s Rhodes will also appear. ![]()
