review 1: Disturbing cover but excellent tale. Gradual unfolding of the tale of the last blood sorceress who has been tracked down by a man who has been bound to deliver the knowledge of her apprenticeship when his previous mistress was killed. Interesting conceit that previous sorceress lived so long in the past that most of current beliefs about her art are not necessarily accurate and she is able to use the man to communicate with her apprentice even though she is actually long dead. Another alternate European geography tale with mysterious dead zones, mechanical enemies with a bit of anomalous behavior (why do they rot rather than fall apart?) and other questionable areas but intriguing premises.
review 2: This book was incredible. I loved it. So original. If you ... morelike fantasy or magic and especially if you are looking for something different, you have to read this. It's classified as Steampunk. It fits the time period and the social commentary; it's focused on the way women are treated. It has machines in it but they are featured in the in book in a very unusual way. But if you like Steampunk or fantasy I think you should read this. It is a romance but the heat level is very low as fits the characters and the story. I highly reccomend this book. less
