review 1: #2 Steampunk ChroniclesI ADORE this series!!!! It's a YA with late teen-aged characters, but can easily be enjoyed by any age. Plot and characters are definitely not "teen-like", meaning early or mid teen. Early and teen reads are great - no offense intended. Just to clarify.London 1897 - Griffin King, an English Duke, and his friends, all with different steampunk/enhanced powers, travel to New York City to find their friend Jasper, who is said to be under arrest for murder. A dangerous criminal is demanding a trade - the terrible device Jasper stole from him, for the girl Jasper loves, who wears the strange clockwork collar.Ms. Cross's writing is lively, witty, lots of twists and surprises, with not even the whiff of a drag of slow down. The characters are believabl... moree, well defined and absolutely absorbing -- even the minor characters are highly entertaining. Adventure, surprises, danger, friendship, with a touch of romance and comedy come together perfectly.I highly recommend this series to anyone, especially Steampunk fans. This series features steampunk devices/machines that are fun and unique to any other Steampunk book I've read.I bow down to the person who designed the book's cover. So fascinating, so beautiful -- I couldn't get enough of looking at it. The large, intricate clockwork collar, the gorgeous girl, her hair, the dress, her ring, the candle ... superb!#1 The Girl in the Steel Corset#2 The Girl in the Clockwork Collar#3 The Girl with the Iron Touch#4 The Girl with the Wind-Up Heart (final book in series)Several in-between e-books.

review 2: I really enjoyed this book. I'm enjoying seeing where the overall series is going, it's very well done.That said, I had some issues. The entire book obviously led to a climax that lasted less than a chapter. Seriously. It was pretty anti-climactic. So I thought that was disappointing.I still really enjoyed reading from multiple perspectives. So many authors screw that up, but that is definitely not the case here.I continue to love all of the characters. Jasper in particular grew on me in this book. His role was much larger than in the first one.The change of scenery was also nice. To have this book set in New York City was very cool.I continue to be excited to see where this series is heading, I am loving it so far. less
