A somewhat generic title that I read many years ago and ultimately found forgettable. I am not sure what else to say as this book felt something like a chore to read.

Requested and downloaded this book back in 2013 with every intention of reading it but then it expired on my device before I had the chance. Have felt bad about that and as a result haven't wanted to leave a review but with more and more publishers relying on Feedback ratings I need to clear out some of these older titles in my queue.

I received this book free for an honest review from Netgalley.

I liked the steampunk aspect of this book, but I did for their technology a bit hard to understand/imagine. The world building was good. The pace was fast and easy to read. I did feel like this leaned towards more of a middle grade read. I probably won’t read the next one.

An utterly thrilling and exciting read. Well written and engaging.

I ended up DNF-ing this one about a quarter of the way through. The writing feels overly simplistic and the characters just don't ring true. It feels like the author is going through the motions and doesn't really care about the book, which in turn made it very difficult for me to care about anything.

I had high hopes for this book but after several attempts at reading it I found myself disappointed. It was engaging enough and because of this I found myself disinterested in continuing with this story. Perhaps other readers will take more from it than I did.

Since receiving this book, my interests have changed therefore I will not be reading or reviewing this title. Thank you.
