Welcome to Litsy!

2.5⭐ This book had a good premise & lots of spunk, but the overall vibe was both too much and not enough at the same time. The first half was too fast-paced, with no real focus on building relationships between the characters or on the world of Industria. With all the steampunk-y words I guess it' like a Victorian London but with more modern tech. The second half slowed down but it still felt like too much activity with little connection.

I wanted to like this book so, so much but there was just something about it that kept me from liking it. The idea of having mechanical organs in a steampunk setting was right up my ally but ugh... Not a good book.

This was a fun, fast read with a heroine narrator that I liked far better than the last YA fantasy I read. The descriptions of all the steampunk costumes and settings are great, and the "solve the mystery of the missing murderous surgeon" plot went along at a good clip. Was it a perfect or even a very complex book? No, but it was entertaining, and sometimes that's all you need.

#Steampunk I think I got this book through Kindle First. I love the cover but the book was only alright. There were several things that bothered me. It felt a bit clunky at times but overall it was fun. #SeasonsReadings2016 @RealLifeReading
