5 stars. The Phantom Saber. In all its magic and glory, is the common thread in this anthology. Six authors weave magic, premonitions, terror, bravery and paranormal elements into this AMAZING set of tales all aboard the magical Phantom Saber ship. The women are as heroic as the waves are high. I can’t pick one favorite of the six installments. Being a lover of steampunk and pirate folklore I had high hopes and was NOT disappointed. Highly recommend this escape the daily grind.
These lady pirates elevate “steampunk” to “steamSPUNK!” This is a great collection, with a theme totally new to me — steampunk pirate airships. That’s right, airships, sailing defiantly through the skies. Angela Sanders’ name drew me to the anthology; she’s a favorite of mine. Her contribution here is “Finding the Rogue,” a collaboration with Anna Applegate, proving their creativity can handle any idea with great readability. (Can’t wait for the series that follows!) All the stories were wonderful, whether the heroines were swaggering pirates themselves, whether they were running away from strict parents or other life challenges, or whether they were embarking on epic travels to find someone. Great fantasy fun! I recommend these stories will sail away with your imagination. Just put your hands on your hips and yell, “shiver me timbers, baby!”
An intriguing anthology of steampunk tales; strong, female characters that demonstrate an unyielding drive to achieve their goals. Well written and action packed, these stories will set your imagination free. You’ll soar above the clouds and dive into the deepest depths…. A must read for anyone who likes new, refreshing, and original!
I loved this anthology, many wonderful stories in it. Met some new authors and had fun with well known ones. These stories will sure keep you up at night, not because they are frightening but because you wont be able to put down the book. I don´t know how many times I said: well, one more and I will go to sleep, lol
** 4.5 stars **
This is an entertaining anthology of steampunk-driven stories that feature strong female characters set in during a time when ladies wore dresses and most definitely did not engage in battles with air pirates . These ladies know who they are and aren’t afraid to stay true to themselves. The stories are well-written and action packed. There were some I enjoyed more than others, like “Finding the Rogue”, but overall the book as a whole was a lot of fun to read and a definite recommend.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Super entertaining, well-written stories that everyone will enjoy. An anthology that will give you a perfect introduction to new authors if this is your first dalliance into this genre, and for those more familiar, a book full of stories that you just don’t want to put down. This totally qualifies as “keeps me up past my bedtime” reading! Don’t be shy about giving this book a try, you’ll be hooked. Start anywhere, you’ll end up reading the entire book anyway! Angela Sanders is such an amazing author, you’ll definitely want to go back and read her other books! You won’t be disappointed. Why are you still reading this review? Go get a copy now!

Great stories with original storylines. Entertaining, well-written with strong female leads. I love females characters who defy convention and follow their passions! “Finding the Rogue” was my favorite and I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy! You’ll love it!
