ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway, I'm so curious about this book now. Why I love steampunk? I think the world is always very interesting and I like to discover the things the author added.

ReplyDeleteI still haven't read the first book, but I'm willing to start on this one!
When it's done well, I love the "adventuresome" quality of it--reminds me of Indiana Jones for some reason. When it doesn't get bogged down in the technical details of the gadgetry, it can do some really fantastical and innovative things. I love the thought process behind some of the alternate histories!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read steampunk yet and would like to give it a try...
