The Scion's Delight by Jeffrey Bardwell - Guest Blogger Book Review
Synopsis
Princess Cordelia has steel plate ambition, a mind like twisting brass gears, and the political might of tin foil. The girl aims to ratchet the Iron Empire into a glorious new day of gears and steam. The entire palace is arrayed against her. The chambermaids disdain her. The emperor ignores her. The mages, championed by Lord Oriolanus, lead a brisk campaign of lies and coercion. Those evil magic users threaten to tighten their grip upon the land even though machines are clearly superior. By the gods' oil-stained hands, why can't anyone else see her vision of the ideal future?
Just when Cordelia's future threatens to slip back into medieval quagmire, a lone stranger with ice blue eyes and flowing blond hair arrives from the savage north. The handsome barbarian is destined to make both the hearts of the empire and the princess tremble. Does this spell doom or salvation for the girl's fragile dream?

Jennifer's Review
The Scion’s Delight is an okay book.
It’s about a girl named Princess Cordelia who is something like an engineer building a maze/trap for mice to experiment with.
She is being forced to marry a mage who she despises. So she, a helper, and a maid all work to build a clock that she hopes will drain his magic so she doesn’t have to marry him.
What is said clock? How does it work? And what happens to the mage?
I had a hard time reading this book, so I give it 1 star.
