I just read a bunch of the reviews for this book and it seems some people thought there was too much going on. I'm the kind of person that loves a book with lots of characters and subplots that all come together in the end. If your the type of person who can't keep several things straight at a time while your reading then i guess this book is probably not for you. However if you're the type that can this book sparkles!
I just picked this up at the bookstore- will get back to you when I've finished it. :)
nice, I've just started the second book, The Kingdom Beyond the Waves and I already love it
I read it and "The Kingdom Beyond the Waves" and liked them both. It has a steampunk feel to it but isn't set in Victorian England like the (seeming) majority of the books in the genre. The only downside I can see to the series is that it's taking forever to reach the US. If you're impatient, like myself, order it from Amazon UK or something similar.

Yeah, it does seem like most of the more mainstrem steampunk is set in the victorian era, although steampunk is really just any story with the sort of technology from when steam engines were the ones used in everything, they can actually be set anywhere.
I love Amazon UK, but I did a search to see where I could get The Kingdom Beyond the Waves, (which I'm reading now) and I ended up getting it over a month ago for 4.99 from some site that was called Books4less or something like that.
I remember, it was called allbooks4less.com and it is a worlwide seller, that's why they had it so cheap.

i read and its definately steampunk but kinda boring.
I wasn't a big fan of it either; my book group read it and (except for one person who adored it wholeheartedly) we thought it had a lot of potential but only lived partially up to it. I am, however, still planning on reading The Kingdom Beyond the Waves, because I loved the character of Amelia Harsh.

It is worth ur time if ur lookin for something new to read. I already ordered the next book. It's not really a continous story but the next one, "The Kingdom Beyond the Waves" has some of the same characters on a different adventure.
