review 1: Absolutely loved it! Steam punk at its best! I was looking for something that was in some way similar to Douglas Adams. I wanted something humourous and entertaining. This definitely fit the bill and more. It was unpredictable and really interesting. The characters are well written and likeable. It was a great escape. It was also totally weird. I mean like drugs in letters weird, kind of a steam punk Naked Lunch kind of thing. What a ride!
review 2: Entertaining and fun read in alternate Victorian/steam-punk type reality. Overall pretty average, but I had lots of fun learning about the real Victorian Archetypes who were all primary characters: Sir Richard Burton, Charles Darwin, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Florence Nightingale, Algernon Swinburne, and ev... moreen a few other cameos that I won't spoil for everyone. Heck, even Spring Heeled Jack is a "real" paranormal Victorian thing.The story starts w/ the failed assignation attempt on Queen Victoria in 1850 by Edward Oxford, only in this alternate reality it was a success. Chaos ensues, and Spring Heeled Jack is involved, time travel, and multiple realities. Sounds cool, but not very interesting or complex overall, and the ending was so so. less
