Before reading this book I thought the Mongolian steppes were like this:
Now I realize they can also be like this:
Animals of the Mongolian Steppe
Short legged camels.
Or a link for a closer look at camels and dogs (I love dogs!) with their owners.
Mongolian yak.
Short legged horses.
And a link entitled eagle hunter.
Another link to plain mongole and last, but not least, a good Sheppard and his angora goat.
Going through book, starting with Chapter 5.

Once in a while I will read a book that takes me out of my comfort zone. This was one of those books. Even though this is a genre I normally don't read, I was drawn in by the cover and a after talking with a few of my book peeps I decided to check it out. I'm glad I did.
I will say in the beginning, I was quite unsure of exactly which genre it was because it wasn't exactly PNR. It's a combination of historical, steampunk, and a side of magic. It was an interesting combination genres and one that ...more

3.5*
I liked that this was set somewhere different (in this case Mongolia). I enjoyed Thalia and the fact that she was not TSTL. I loved that she was able to save herself at the end of the book. I would have liked to have had less staring/watching/looking between Thalia and Gabriel. I also thought Gabriel was too focused on how unconventional Thalia was.

3.75. Good Indiana-jones-type adventure. Fun, interesting characters. The romance was good if a little over-written. Looking forward to the next one, but not jonesing, yk?
4.5 stars. Love it. This is like Indie Jones plus Lara Croft. Though, it took me a long time to read -- got interupted by Irene/power out al all -- but finally finished. Zoe Archer rocks. Moving on to the next book.
Oops! how could I forget....to mention THE chapter 13. Hot!!!
