Dirigibles, zombies and a crazy inventor - can a story get any better?! This book has been on my "to read" list for a while now and I'm so glad it finally made it to the top. The author has built a fascinating and unique world. Great read!
Tenía muchas esperanzas con este libro y sus secuelas. Pero me resultó un fiasco, partiendo por el prólogo introductorio donde la autora "explica" a modo de capítulo extraído de un libro de historia, que se trata de una realidad alternativa steampunk. Luego comienza la historia y es trágica y simple...
Boneshaker had a really amazing premise (steampunk + zombies + American Civil War), but the execution fell horribly flat and I felt disappointed throughout the book. I can't believe it won all the awards it did, and I think maybe the award-winners kept imaging the book to be more worthy because of t...
Read my full review at SFF Book Revie.I expected to love this. Steampunk Seattle with zombies! And it started out well enough. That first chapter had me right from the start.

This was mostly a fun read. I enjoyed Priest's vision for an alternate steampunk version of 19th century Seattle, although the zombies felt kind of extraneous to the plot. She could have taken them out and still written the same story about a mad scientist and the fallout from his experiment, partic...
I picked up this book because I was looking for an interesting read in a genre I hadn't read much of before. I figured that a steampunk, zombie hybrid would at the very least be harmless fun. I'm glad that my expectations weren't all that high, because that is all this was; harmless fun.Priest sets ...
Such fun! Priest gets really creative in building the world of 1860s and 70s Seattle. A 200-foot-tall wall surrounding the city? Airships? Zombies? Pirates? A lengthened Civil War? Brown text? Dated language (negro, Chinaman) to make narration more authentic? An absolutely beautiful cover? Quirky st...
