review 1: Steampunk is a genre I've not really been able to sink my teeth into. I find it rather unconvincing, and so it's an area I've let languish. The language of this one made it worth reading, and the roaring adventure of the story and compellingly eighteenth century characterisation kept it going. I'm tempted to say I won't read the next one ... but there was a sample chapter, you see ... and so maybe ...
review 2: Goes a little too far in places, but overall a really rather delightful read. Steampunk and alien technologies are woven seamlessly into the alternate Victorian reality, as are the presence of alien beings. Whilst small details make this clearly a modern writer, he has done an excellent job of capturing the more endearing qualities of Victorian England,... more quickly warming the reader to his characters and drawing you into their world in a frankly enchanting fashion. less
