Description

🌟 Presenting "Gearpunk" 🌟

In the city of New Dwarden, powered by steam, gears, and buried secrets, royal siblings Michael, Amelia, and Bolton Woltwork grapple with destinies thrust upon them by ancient traditions and hidden forces. As their paths intertwine with mysterious machinery, perilous adventures, and whispered truths, they each must confront their identity and question the boundary between human and machine. GEARPUNK is a gripping tale of family, mystery, and the haunting question: what does it truly mean to be alive?

"Whadya BUYING!? Wadya Sellin'!?" (What to Expect)- A world in the vein of Avatar The Last Airbender and Ghibli Movies mashed together! We try, guys! We try!

- A love for natural dialogue among characters

- An A --> B adventure featuring a colorful cast of characters and multiple characters leads

- A touch of Steampunk!

- And a gosh-damn love for everything adventure

- Weekly Uploads! (Or Bi-weekly on rare occasions, depending on depth of content)

- I encourage you all to let me know how you feel reading Gearpunk. Good or bad! This is a world I want people invested in, but more so, I want ya'll to have a great time and be heard! Good luck out there!*The story title was changed from Amelia to Gearpunk because the story has evolved to contain many elements from her family's perspective. Bolton has robbed Amelia of her spotlight! Again! Just kidding, they're both cool. I just had to prove it by changing the name of the story. So, two main characters! For now! Woooo!(*disclaimer! Branching paths may still be present at specific points in the story)!

I've been reading this story for a week or so straight and it is worth all the time spent. I'm racing toward the end, just so I can reread it. I'm a fantasy fan and us fantasy lovers, are persuaded by a nice well-developed world and New Dwarden is it. The authenticity of it is felt in every line you read. I'm drawn deeper into the story with how much love I can feel with into the making of this book. Grombone is a nerd for this stuff and you can tell. His excitement for the world he's build is contagious. Even through the author's note, he's very engaging and inviting. Welcome to New Dwarden, come take a peek inside. I'm definitely hooked. I'm hear to tell you it's worth a read. Especially if you are a fantasy-lover who goes crazy over good old world-building. You're gonna love this story, I promise you.
My favorite character so far is Rick, he's a gruff older man with a soft, soft heart. There's so much more to him. I can't wait to find out more. He's such a compelling figure in the story.
Amelia is a feisty firecracker and I love her for it.
Everything in this world feel so real and relatable that you might forget that this world doesn't actually exist. Even the names are so realistic and flows off the tongue: New Dwarden, Greisha, Whistletop. It all works. You won't fine yourself confused about any of the new phrases. Your mind just might automatically find its relation without you having to ask, "now, what's a Yardrat?" Context is important and Grombone clearly knows this and has the skill to deliver.
Thank you, Grombone for offering us the opportunity to read the amazing world you've built. You're an excellent writer.
