I’m very torn about this book. On one hand, it had a really interesting setting but the central theme was a bit silly and the relationship between the hero and heroine was full of clichés. They were more original themselves but how they got together was very predictable and boring.

This was my first foray into the historical/fantasy/steam punk genre, and if they are all this well done, I think I've been missing out! This is the first book in a long time that I'm sharing with my Dad because of the unusual outer Mongolia setting, unique Blades of the Rose secret society protecting artifacts, and Indiana Jones-like hero and plot.
