Thanks, Jason. Steampunk is actually the next theme I'm going for in my reading list.

Oh! I've just read all the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger. They're on the 'gentle' side of steampunk and I LOVE them.

I recently read Lilith Saintcrow's "The Iron Wyrm Affair" and enjoyed it immensely. Steampunk is one of those things that's hit or miss for me, but this one was definitely a winner.

I read Soulless which was fun.
Boneshaker was good but a little heavy going.
Leviathan was also good. It didn't quite live up to my expectations but I really loved the Clankers machines.
I have yet to find a Steampunk that really thrills me.

i thought Soulless and its sequel were pleasant but not very memorable - i won't continue with the series.

i liked Leviathon. just read its sequel Behemoth, which was also enjoyable.

i thought Boneshaker was okay, but often dull and annoying.

i completely loved The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters and its sequel The Dark Volume by Gordon Dahlquist. although a lot of people have not enjoyed those books. i don't understand a lot of people.

I liked Romulus Buckle & the City of the Founders and Romulus Buckle & the Engines of War by Richard Ellis Preston Jr.

[Mary]

I also liked The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, though the steampunk elements are less central to the main plot.

Just finished Dead Iron and enjoyed it. I’ll be reading more Steampunk. Also loved Parasol Protectorate but not so much her daughter.
