I liked this book. If it was possible, I'd give it a 3.5 star rating, because I did enjoy it. I have some mixed feelings though. Spoilers passed this point!On the one hand, I'm super in love with steampunk, steampunk, and more steampunk, so I loved all the descriptions of the gadgetry and the world ...
My TBR includes several stars from the Steampunk firmament but I am a little cautious approaching them due to my aversion to Victoriana.This book is set in an imagined historical era loosely based on gold-rush California. Without relying on swathes of descriptive prose the author was able to evoke t...
I had a hard time getting through this one. Halfway through I was trying to decide whether or not to finish it. I felt that I was waiting for something more to happen. I didn't really care at all for the main characters. I feel sad cause I was excited about a steampunk and Zombie adventure but it w...
I want my money back. The writing was really simple and the descriptions of places was so bad you can't understand what she is talking about. I'm very disapointed. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because the plot was good but it needs a lot of work.
I bought this book a while ago, and have been hesitant to start it because I just couldn't figure out what the story was going to be -- and it is a big book.Boy am I glad I finally cracked the cover. I was hooked on the first page (the very first page!) because of a sentence describing the lack of g...
I found this less engaging than many YA fantasy novels, especially with such promising components as poisonous gas and zombies in a Northwest steampunk context. My big problem (other than the thought, Really? You need poisonous gas and zombies to bring it alive?) was that the characters seemed to ex...
Set during the Civil War, Cherie Priest's Boneshaker is an alternate-history steampunk tale with wit, adventure, and zombies. Yup, zombies. They call 'em rotters, but you can't miss the shambling, moaning, tear-your-flesh-off, used-to-be-people, zombies...Briar Wilkes was widowed sixteen years ago, ...
This is one of those cases where I had a completely different reaction than the rest of the world, so take it with a grain of salt. However, I had a really hard time here--I didn't particularly care about any of the characters and didn't feel invested enough in the world of the story to make it work...
I enjoy steampunk, and this was a fun, adventure. I would definitely classify it as young adult, but it is still a great story. I enjoyed the worlbuilding, and how the characters had to try to make a living, after Seattle had been quarantined. The one annoying thing for me, however, was the consta...
