The Decadia Code (Decadia Series) Paperback – September 13, 2016

4.4 out of 5 stars 84 ratings

The world of DeCadia is a shadow of its once magnificent glory. The War that destroyed the great world has left the known world in an ever changing state of flux. Steam-powered ships rule the skies, pirates roam free, and the Royal Navy is the only whisper of order in the cacophony of chaos. Valeria knows this brutal world all too well. Orphaned with only a birthmark on her back to hint at her past, she is left to travel the world alone. Hope comes in an unexpected form, whispers of her Atlantian heritage. Whispers that tell Valeria her birthmark is more than she could have ever imagined. Now Valeria finds herself in a dangerous scheme to uncover the truth of her ancestry. Her journey will take her across the known world, to forbidden islands, and into conflict with the Royal Navy. Allies will be made, enemies discovered, and the truth of Atlantis revealed.

    I've never heard of Jonathan Yanez, but I'm familiar with Apryl Baker and have read and enjoyed many of her books. Hands down, she is an EXPERT story-teller. I was interested to see what she would do with a steampunk story, as that's a new genre for her. I love steampunk, when it's done right, but I'm pretty picky about it; still, I trusted Baker would deliver, and she did, as always. She (and her co-author) waste no time diving into the exciting plot. Val, Stephen, and Tobias make for a great cast of central characters that pushed the plot forward in a sensible but intense fashion. Add in to this a dash of pirates and dragons, and you have a mash up of genres sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. This is definitely a story not to be missed!

    The beginning of this book grabbed you right away: dirty, gritty, unique. The intro to the MC had me smiling. A bada$$ chick kickin' men's butts...Very cool. Then it got a bit weird with the first ship battle where pirates vs merchant/slave Ship vs the Navy on a haunted island where GOBS of great characters die! It turned cockeyed when you add an island chieftain who wants to marry the slave/Pirate captain who used to be a sailor in the Navy & in love with the Captain of the defeated Naval ship who really is royalty. HUH? Throw in a 100-something year old Atlantean, a runaway shapeshifting Dragon & some tattooed maps and you got yourself a story! There are parts where I had to put down the kindle & go to another book because the storyline lagged or made you cringe with the character's decision-making process but overall, the writing is good, no major editing flaws & I liked how it had an ending I could live with if I chose not to read the 2nd book. The artwork on the Cover is gorgeous but doesn't match the Main Character. Same with the Second book. Steampunk is one thing, but not everyone where's a corset and top hat. Author & Illustrator - Get In Sync! So, I think this book is okay. Fleshed out character, lots of actions, good descriptive prose & a MC you can like. Secondary chars. are getting wishy-washy. Still, a thumbs up.

    Set in the world of DeCadia, where the seas have been poisoned and great steamships rule the air, Valeria, the dread sky pirate known to the world as Emerald, sets out on a dangerous trek in search of her heritage.

    Starts off slow but turns into a rollicking fun romp with pirates, dragons, tribal villagers, and hidden secrets form the past.

    A very good read, most enjoyable. However I don't think I 'll be reading any more in this series as I found the price of the book expensive, especially for a paperback.
