Review: Dark Breakers - C. S. E. Cooney

Written by: Kathryn Adams

March 16, 2022

It’s been a few years since I reviewed C.S.E Cooney’s standalone novella Desdemona and the Deep, swimming in all that lovely sculpted prose and wishing there was more of this world of magic and goblins and worlds stacked one on top of each other and people making very inadvisable deals for money and power.

Lo and behold, we now have a collection of five stories set in the world of Breaker House, three of them brand new and two of them re-written novellas that were formerly only available as ebooks. I was able to win a signed advance reader copy from the author herself (“Books are the best possible thing to win! Other than money. Which you can then use to buy books.” – Elizabeth), and I’ve been taking my time reading it, trying to make it last as long as possible because this book is as tasty as ice cream and as dizzying as an entire bottle of wine.

"I still don't know how you can deal with him..." Sundrop remarked as he helped Dawn organize some of the books in the Great Library.

Ayuna was already taking a nap, so Lord Eclipse had ordered Sundrop to assist Dawn for a while.

"With whom?" Dawn asked with honest confusion.

"Your so-called "lord"... He constantly hits you, tries to make you feel worthless..." Sundrop replied with a low growl.

"I know, but-"

“But nothing!” Sundrop snapped, “You shouldn’t have to deal with all that! You're one of the only good ones in this hellscape!”

"This "hellscape" is the only home I have left! Lord Eclipse saved me! He saved us!" Dawn snapped with rage in his eyes but then covered his mouth with both of his hands and his rage turned into shock.

Sundrop became silent at Dawn's response.

"Look... I'm sorry, okay. I don't know what might have happened here, and I shouldn't have yelled at you like that," Sundrop said with a sigh, "But if he's the one who saved you, then why does he treat you like that?"

"He just... Ever since Ayuna's condition worsened and Lord Aibek's death, he changed. He used to be a kind and just ruler, but everything began to crumble down. I have tried to comfort him, but he always puts on this..." Dawn said as he took his hands off of his mouth as he began to calm down.

"I see..." Sundrop said as he crossed his arms.

"Are you two okay?" a familiar voice asked as they approached the two Sundrop models.

It was Sienna who was now wearing an orange one-shoulder ruffle gown and a pair of orange ballet flats topped with black bows but still had her necklace on.

"Hello, miss Sienna," Dawn said as he quickly wiped away any tears that were still staining his cheeks.

"We were just talking," Sundrop added as he organized the last of the books.

"You sure?" Sienna asked with genuine concern.

"We are alright, Lady Sienna. Is there something you needed?" Dawn asked.

"I kind of need help putting my dress on, if you don't mind," Sienna replied with a grimace.

"Of course, Lady Sienna," Dawn said as he took Sienna's hand and led her back to her room.

"Here we are! Welcome to the Rebellion," Gibbous said as he, Lunar, and Eclipse got out of the purple magic circle that had stopped glowing.

"Woah..." Lunar said as he looked around.

The camp had seven tents, a bonfire area, a flag that had Lord Eclipse's symbol on it crossed out with a bright blue X.

The first tent was blue and yellow that seemed to clearly belong to Gibbous.

"Home sweet home," Gibbous said as he went into the tent.

The second tent was blue, white, and brown that was a bit smaller than the other ones.

"Whose tent is that one?" Eclipse asked as he held onto the straps of his new yellow and burgundy red backpack that held the blanket from before in it.

"That one was... Caden's..." Gibbous replied with a sad tone as he emerged from the tent into a new outfit.

He now wore a blue vest, a white collared shirt, a pair of black pants, and a pair of brown combat boots, but still kept his nightcap on.

"Who's Caden?" Lunar asked.

"Gibbous? Is it really you?" a male voice that both Eclipse and Lunar found familiar asked.

They looked to where the voice came from and saw someone coming out of an orange and blue tent.

Both of their eyes widened as they realized this was another Glamrock Freddy.

He had the same bright orange and light yellow skin, blue eyes, white teeth and fangs, red shins, and red tongue as the original but also had vertical scars on both of his eyes.

He wore a black fedora with a blue ribbon tied around it, a blue bow tie, a pair of large blue shoulder pauldrons, a pair of black and white spiked bracelets, a blue hoop earring in his right ear, and blue and white face paint.

"I'm here, Ford," Gibbous replied with a smile.

Ford smiled back and rushed to the group.

He then lifted Gibbous effortlessly and embraced him in what seemed to be a gesture of love.

"I thought I lost you, too," Ford said as tears began to fall from his eyes.

"Should we..." Eclipse trailed off.

Ford and Gibbous blushed in embarrassment as Ford put Gibbous back down on the ground.

"S-sorry, you two," Gibbous stuttered as he straightened his sleeves. "Ford, this is Eclipse and Lunar. Eclipse, Lunar, this is Ford Fazbear, one of the Rebellion's best fighters."

"Hiya!" Lunar said as he held his hand out.

Eclipse merely waved his hand as Ford shook Lunar's.

"Thank you for saving Gibbous. I don't know how I can ever thank you enough," Ford said with a smile as someone came out of a yellow and green tent.

"Well... you could help us save our brother Sunny," Lunar said.

"Who the hell are these two?" a male voice asked as he walked up to the group.

Lunar smiled and Eclipse flinched as they saw it was another Montgomery Gator.

He had the same green and light green skin with black spots all over it, white teeth and fangs, red eyes, red mohawk, pink tongue, and long yellow and green striped tail.

He wore a purple sleeveless jacket, a pair of purple scale-textured pants, a black belt with silver circular studs and a silver belt buckle, purple lightning-like paint on his muzzle, black fingerless gloves, a pair of black and white spiked bracelets, purple star-shaped sunglasses, and purple shoulder pauldrons.

"Hi! I'm Lunar! Me and my brothers are like from another dimension," Lunar said as Eclipse facepalmed.

"Another dimension? That would be impossible," the other Monty said with a growl.

"Why would it be impossible?" Eclipse asked.

"Because you made it impossible!" the other Monty yelled as he pounced at Eclipse.

Eclipse gasped and put his hands in front of his face.

Suddenly, yellow electricity appeared from his hands and it made the other Monty stop his assault.

"Maverick! The hell's going on out here?" a female voice yelled as they came out of a red and purple tent.

It was another Roxanne Wolf who had the same grey skin with lighter grey accents, long light grey hair with a green streak in it, white teeth with fangs, golden yellow eyes, and a purple tongue.

Her makeup consisted of purple lipstick, purple eyeshadow, black mascara, and red nail polish on both of her fingers and toes.

She wore a red t-shirt with a black star shaped object, a black belt with white spiky studs, a pair of purple tiger-printed jeans, a pair of black and purple tiger printed arm warmers, a gold hoop earring on her left ear, a red hoop earring on her right ear and two more red earrings on both of her ears, a pair of black bracelets with white spiky studs on both of her wrists, and a purple leather jacket with a red wolf on the back.

"Stay out of this, Riley! I'll finally get to kill the bastard who took everything from us!" Maverick yelled as he prepared to pounce at Eclipse again.

"Mavy, stop!" a male voice that sounded similar to Lunar's commanded.

Maverick did in fact stop as Lunar and Gibbous stood in front of Eclipse who was now just staring at his hands in awe.
