Dreaming the Impossible . Helena Brandywine has discovered the location of the final item needed to complete Mister Wizards Airship. However, the Count Stroganov and his minions are nearby, waiting to get their hands on the ships secrets. She desperately needs to finish the Airship so she can escape the city and the accusations of her being a dangerous murdering witch. If she fails to leave; San Francisco has planned an extended stay in the local insane asylum. A mysterious man is chasing her, an ancient dragon is teaching her, and a new evil has entered the world from her bed. What can possibly go right? Don't miss Gravity Hill , the Third installment of the Brandywine Series by Greg Alldredge. If you like Adventure and Fantasy with a strong female lead, then this Young Adult Steampunk novel will have you turning the pages! Come check it out!
This third book in the Helena Brandywine steampunk adventure series is packed with action and suspense as Helena fights to solve the puzzle of her parents’ disappearance and battle against the evil forces that have taken over San Francisco at the same time.
In many ways, Helena is a woman ahead of her time, who shows that women can do anything they set their mind to. She is also flawed, which makes her more believable and relatable for the reader.
While this story is part of a longer overall narrative, there is sufficient resolution for this story to stand on its own merits. The book ends in a satisfying manner, and yet the teasers for the next story still make book 4 beckon most invitingly.
Hooray, Helena Brandywine is back, in Greg Alldredge’s Gravity Hill, the third “Helena Brandywine Adventure”. Lovers of steampunk on the grand scale and kick-a** heroines can commence to rejoice. Wizards, dragons, witches, ancient enemies and a fantastic alternative San Fransisco. Even a baddy named “Count Stroganov” (I giggle every time I read that name). Pure fun in a well written package. Followers of the series are guaranteed to enjoy this one. Newcomers too, as it works stand-alone, but for maximum entertainment I strongly suggest the start with the first book in the series.
But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next of Helena Brandywine’s adventures.
