"
This is my first steampunk novel and I am not familiar with the tropes, but I do know writing, and this is well-done. The characters are memorable and distinct. Their motivations are understandable and sympathetic. There is obviously setup for a series here, and with luck the next book will deliver on some of that. For the most part, though, it’s self-contained. An enjoyable read well worth the $2.99 Kindle cover price.
