Book description
The air in Dar Goranth hangs thick with the scent of oil and unspoken tension, a perfect setting for Tara Grayce's Stalk the Sky. This isn't just a steampunk adventure-it's a descent into the heart of a war where the sky itself feels like a cage. As Fieran Laesornysh, half-elf and burdened by his lineage, steps onto the empty hangar floor, the silence is deafening. No engines roar, no airships wait. Just the cold weight of betrayal and the sharp, resentful gaze of an elven commander who sees only the bloodline he despises. The audiobook masterfully amplifies this dread; every creak of the ship's hull, every muttered curse from Fieran's ragtag squadron, feels like it's whispering directly into your ear.
Grayce crafts a world where magic isn't just in the gadgets-those intricate, whispering devices Pip the half-dwarf mechanic coaxes to life-but in the very atmosphere. You hear the thrum of enchanted brass, the hiss of steam infused with old magic, and the chilling dissonance of a sky torn apart by war. The narrator's voice, low and deliberate, pulls you into Fieran's skin as he navigates not just enemy raids, but the suffocating hostility within his own ranks. Every interaction crackles with unspoken history; a glance across the mess hall, a muttered insult about "half-blood," the way Pip's quiet competence cuts through the noise like a scalpel. This is psychological tension made audible-real, raw, and utterly immersive.
And yet, beneath the gloom, Grayce weaves moments of sharp, unexpected humor. A clumsy airship maneuver, a sarcastic quip from Pip about "elven pride," the absurdity of a squadron trying to fly without planes-it all lands with a perfect, darkly comedic punch. The audiobook's pacing is impeccable, letting the dread linger before snapping you into action with a sudden, heart-stopping aerial clash. You feel the G-forces of a dive, the metallic tang of fear, the desperate urgency of men clinging to a hope as fragile as a spider's web.
This isn't just book two-it's the moment the series truly finds its voice. The humor isn't a distraction; it's the light that makes the shadows deeper. You'll find yourself leaning closer to your headphones, caught between laughter and a knot in your throat, as Fieran fights not just for Dar Goranth, but for the right to claim his own legacy in a world that refuses to let him fly. If you crave worlds where laughter echoes just before the storm hits, where every gadget hums with ancient secrets, and where the real battle is fought in the quiet spaces between words? Stalk the Sky is the whisper in the dark you've been waiting for. Let the engines roar.
