What follows is plenty of mystery and action, a little bit of romance and plenty of girl-power. Whilst set in the early 1900s, the book has a distinctly modern edge, and at times this was more annoying than charming. Terms such as 'make-out' and 'I guess', neither of which fit the language or setting of Victorian London really stood out and detracted from an otherwise well written and entertaining story. Perhaps I am just being pernickety!
Still, it's a good read and a light-hearted introduction to Steampunk. If you're interested the genre, checkout the album of other Steampunk novels on our Facebook page.
