This just came in for me at the library - I don't even remember requesting it! But I remember putting it on my TBR, so I guess I'll be reading it soon. :)
I just happened to see Jason's review on my update feed, so I added it. It looks great! Hope you enjoy it. :)
really cool review, nancy. (smiles) ive been wanting to try a steampunk novel. im really into steampunk musick, and i am a sucker for air pirates, goggles (grins) i wanted to find one that was character driven. so this looks really good-im going to get it now!
Thanks, everyone! :)
Sandi - My library had a brand new copy. I was surprised to be the first to borrow it.
Emilie - Steampunk music? Please tell me more!
im having trouble defining steampunk musick. so i found this, and i think its a pretty good description by joshua pfeifer of vernian process. (at tor.com)
“theres no defining element to steampunk music....music created by steampunk fans, or music that steampunk fans find invokes the atmosphere they expect from a steampunk setting or aesthetic”
to me, its the feeling, a romantic and fun feeling of an imaginary past of steam-powered airships, of corsets and frock coats and top hat wearing victorians mingling with pirates, a fantasy space that really draws me in.
heres some different songs to play with- have fun! (smiles)
abney park-the wrong side (the song that first hooked me)
