At its heart, this novel is two stories: one, a really above-average steampunk Western, and the other a fairly basic dark-fairy fantasy story. And throughout the book there's a kind of tension between the two; as a reader you really feel the *clunk* as one story gives way to the other, back and forth. They're not well wedded, is what.

But that doesn't mean this book's not AWESOME.
