Just think what spies could have accomplished in the 19th century if they had had cell phones, faxes, & computers, such as the rudimentary ones the ladies of the English Three have! Necessity is the mother of invention, & all things are invented in their time, but that is the beauty of steampunk. We can speculate as to what might have taken place if only those inventions had been around in another time of history.

Oh, this was my very first Steampunk novel (unless you count the Golden Compass) and I loved it!
Williams seamlessly melded sprockets, corsets and modern technology into something that I had no problem believing in whole.
The relationships were so different than most romances, two of the characters were already married but to really crappy men which made the new love interests easy to digest.
I just wished it was longer!

I didn't know much about steampunk beyond the fashion side when I bought this book. It was fun and interesting. I was impressed with the "old" versions of our modern technology. Very creative. Yes, it reminded me of Charlie's Angels, but in a good way. The three main characters were all different enough that I didn't have a problem telling them apart, and I was interested in their individual goals and problems. It held my interest all the way through. Lots of fun, and I'll be looking for more fo...more
This is essentially a steampunk version of Charlie's Angels with a fair amount of victorian-style romance mashed in.
There's a lot of unrealized potential in the story, unfortunately. And I felt the ending was a cop-out. It held me in enough to get me to finish, but that's about all.

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Great characters, plausible and enjoyable story line, and the technology quite believable too.
Hope another is in the works.
