"O''Keefe''s dialogue is as nimble as Detan''s thieving fingers, and his inevitable tragic secrets lend needed gravitas to his wise-cracking, card-sharp persona.Green things may not last long in the Scorched, but with Steal the Sky , O''Keefe has cultivated fertile ground for the next books in her promising trilogy to grow." -Jason Heller, NPR "Megan O''Keefe''s stories are always vivid and compelling." - Tim Powers , author of Declare and Three Days to Never "Megan O''Keefe''s prose is so full of fascinating twists and delights, you won''t want to put it down. Go ahead, open it up: I dare you!" - David Farland , author of the bestselling Runelords series "Blend two lovable rogues, a magical doppelganger, and a nasty empire, and you have O''Keefe''s Steal the Sky . It''s like an epic steampunk Firefly ." - Beth Cato , author of The Clockwork Dagger "Holy sh**ballz this was good. The storyline and world building were impeccable as were the depth of the characters that inhabited it.

I am really looking forward to more from this author." - Koeur''s Book Reviews "But there''s something relentless about the pacing of the text, and it picks up ever-increasing speed from about the middle onward - and by the end, it''s an absolute juggernaut of prose, which I couldn''t stop reading. There''s something for everyone - witty banter, realpolitik, elusive and wonderful magic, the occasional stabbing." - Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reviews "There is a great deal of luscious description of Aransa which really gives some quality immersion in Dentan''s world without slowing down the plot. The dialogue is also excellent and really helps to flesh out the characters and get you emotionally involved with them. The politics of the world is complex and well-wrought. I can''t wait to see what Dentan, Tibs and their gradually accumulated band of accomplices get up to next." - Strange Alliances "I''m hooked.

" - FicGal "If you''re looking for a fast read full of breezy dialogue, imaginative worldbuilding, and capers galore, Steal the Sky is definitely worth a look." - Bookaneer "A really enjoyable read. 4/5*" - SFX Magazine " Steal the Sky is a fun romp that shows a lot of promise for O''Keefe in her debut novel. With the quality of the storytelling as a whole, I shouldn''t be surprised O''Keefe was a first place winner in the Writers of the Future. Not only is Steal the Sky O''Keefe''s debut, it launches the Scorched Continent series and does a fine job of laying out a foundation for future stories. Readers who enjoyed Beth Cato''s Clockwork Dagger and Jim Butcher''s The Aeronaut''s Windlass will likely find themselves drawn into Megan E. O''Keefe''s adventurous Steal the Sky ." - SFF World " Steal the Sky works well as a standalone adventure, but the ending hints at more interesting times to come for Detan and Ripka, their various friends and foes, and the whole of the surrounding lands.

I''ll definitely be looking out for more in this world." - Strange Charm "I would definitely recommend Steal the Sky . It''s a very entertaining read. The characters are a great combination of goodies and baddies and somewhere inbetweens. The writing is smooth, the plot dives about like a maniac and the ending is a great set up for the next book." - The Speculative Herald "If you''re a fan of old-school sword-and-sorcery, enjoy rooting for the Han Solos and Malcolm Reynolds of the world, and appreciate the mix of witty dialogue and slow-burning adventure, Steal the Sky is well worth a read." - Beauty in Ruins "Loved it!" - Butterfly-o-Meter Books " Steal the Sky is a fine novel. If you are a Steampunk aficionado, Steal the Sky is right up your alley, as it is for "alternate earthers.

" The plot will keep you hanging until the final die is cast, and there is enough background material to whet anyone''s fancy." - Open Book Society "An enjoyable fantasy novel with a lot of promise." - Don''t Be Afraid of The Dark "I''m really looking forward to the next book! If you enjoyed Firefly , like steampunk in your fantasy, or like adventure stories, heist stories, or stories about loyalty then this is well worth your time." - The Conversationalist "This is a writer - and a series - you are not going to want to miss." - Erlebnisse "This has all of the elements I look for when shopping for a new book: danger, fast-paced action, camaraderie and light-hearted humour." - Cowering King.
