Now we're onto Part 4 - the final post for our 'Post movie blues', and the final genre of excellent books!
What's that? Did I hear you say Steampunk? You might think Steampunk is not for you, but don't be afraid peeps, we've got some
goodies for you...
- The Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld.
Ah Scott, we simply can't get enough of your books! This absolutely
fantastic series gives us an alternate version of the First World War
where the German Central Powers (aka Clankers) and the British Entente
Powers (aka Darwinists) do battle using robots and genetically engineered
beasts. Brilliant! Yep, we've done a review of Book 1 and Book 2!
- The
Friday Society by
Adrienne Kress. Whether this becomes a series is yet to be seen, but the
book, set in Victorian London, is a great little introduction to the
Steampunk genre and packed with girl-power! Check it out with this review!
- The Finishing
School series by Gail Carriger. This steam-punk series is about
girls attending a posh finishing school where they learn to curtsy, dance,
pour tea, and also kill, maim and spy. Cool!
- The
Extraordinaires series by Michael Pryor. An Aussie and an extremely
experienced and prolific author, Pryor takes us back to 1908 London with
this fantasy / hint-of-steampunk adventure series. Find the review of the first book here.
