(I will admit that the cover is what made me request this one) I enjoyed it but there was so much more I wanted to know. I think I called it Proto-Steampunk in my review, it's kind of on the brink of it but not quite there.

I really liked the book itself, but I thought Lena was not very likable, I found her a little dense more often than not, but she did go through a lot...Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928705465936642139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367042461805849381.post-18034728203815100502013-01-05T23:53:47.556-05:002013-01-05T23:53:47.556-05:00I felt the steampunk element didn't shine in t...I felt the steampunk element didn't shine in the story. I read this book, I think in April, and wished some characters to be more active in the story.

It was a very inventive and unique story, but I felt it was at times slow and there was a lack of adventure for my taste.Sugar and Snarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653208604957196237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367042461805849381.post-62234532681625016652013-01-02T22:30:37.302-05:002013-01-02T22:30:37.302-05:00Interesting book.
