review:
A fun clever book, which reminds me quite a bit of the Amelia Peabody mysteries, which I LOVED when I was in high school. Only with supernatural critters & steampunk gear! A bit annoyed at the cliffhanger ending, but I suppose that’s just the way it works. Her POV handling seems to be getting more solid/consistent. It’s been 9 months since I read the first book, but I had few difficulties getting my bearings in this one…which is good since I imagine it’ll be at LEAST that long until I’ll be able to read the next one. (Not published until next month, not even on order at the library so far as I can tell.)
