In THE IRON JACKAL we end up seeing just how unfulfilled everyone on the Ketty Jay really is. With each book so far we’ve learned a little more about each member of the crew. If there is one thing to point out about Chris Wooding’s skill set, it that he is incredible with character development and backstory. Character development? Check it a bajillion times. He is warned not to mess with the item he is stealing…so of course he messes with it. What it all boils down to is Frey’s insatiable curiosity. And then Darian Frey–our loveable Han Solo-ish rogue–and his crew of misfits (cat included) get a job. The story goes like this: The crew of the Ketty Jay is doing well. THE IRON JACKAL ( Amazon) is the third Ketty Jay novel, and in my opinion, the best of the bunch. Wooding’s Ketty Jay novels are full of magic, machinery, rogues, pirates, love and loss.
They are some of the finest adventure novels I have ever read. If you have yet to read RETRIBUTION FALLS ( EBR Review) or THE BLACK LUNG CAPTAIN ( EBR Review), you need to to stop reading this review and go buy those two novels. Though, I suppose this is why he is a published author while I am shopping things around. I really don’t know how Chris Wooding does it.
