The Sigil Trilogy
If you're looking for an amazing, WOW! science fiction story, check out THE SIGIL TRILOGY. This is — literally — one of the best science fiction novels I've ever read.

Melanie Karsak's Beauty and Beastly is a creative retelling of the classic story, and a very enjoyable read.
Because it is a phenomenal story.
This was a great re-telling of a classic story with not only a steam punk twist but a removal of the Stockholm syndrome Belle develops for Beast. A great read and one I enjoyed sharing with others.
The Author has a way with words that draw the reader into the story.
Ms. Karsak has captured my attention and spurred my imagination with her fantastical re-telling of tales from my childhood. She knows how to tell a story. I love her work!
Melanie's Steampunk series keep getting better and better and what an awesome twist on the old favorites. Cannot wait for a Wizard of Oz themed installment!
I loved the story, it was fun to read and had great characters.
I have read a few Steapunk titles by Melanie Karsak and loved them!
