I've been trying to read this for months. I put it off because I just didn't have the time, but I wasn't all that interested in it either. I tried picking it up again but I just can't get interested in any of the characters or the world. It seemed like a neat concept, but there's this almost fairy-t...
I'm not a fan of steampunk. In fact, if you want me to lose interest in something, just tell me that it's steampunk. The idea of it doesn't bother me as much as the people who treat it like a religion, but I tend to avoid it as much as I can. It just doesn't hold much interest for me. As to how I ca...
Briar Wilkes is the widow of a mad man and great inventor, the late Dr. Blue. She and her teenage son, Ezekiel, must live with the everlasting shame of the horrible disaster Dr. Blue’s mining engine (Boneshaker) caused to downtown Seattle. Blight gas was released all those years ago, turning hundred...
Despite the fact that I had read another book by Cherie Priest and didn't find it all that great, I had read good things about Boneshaker and hoped to really like it. That feeling never came, though. While the plot is good, the characters feel flat and it's hard to really care all that much about an...
The setting was very intriguing--definitely the strongest aspect of the book, and I really wished that it was even more developed--but the plot seemed weak: there are only so many extended zombie chase scenes that I can handle before I automatically start skimming. Still, I read it in an evening and...
Sadly I did not enjoy this book as much as I had hoped. The world was quite good and I loved the blight (poisonous gas that kills people and turns them into rotters/zombies) but the rest of the book was a bit of a let down for me. I wasn't a massive fan of the main characters, in fact I feel like th...
I read Boneshaker a few years back.Loved it. Tell people about it all the time. Imagine my surprise when I looked up Jon Foster, the artist who did the cover art for my new middle grade novel, and discovered he did the Boneshaker cover art. AND the same dude also did the opening images for The Lefto...
I'm giving this a 3.5/5. Since I signed up for Goodreads several years ago, this has always been a recommended read. I stumbled upon Cherie Priest's Cheshire Red vampire series on audio and loved it. I have to say that I did enjoy this book and its story development. Admittedly it does feels slo...
The heart of this story is a mother-son relationship. With it comes all the bumps and heart-felt experiences that a single mother has while raising a child on her own--guilt, mistakes, pride, worry, and sadness as a little boy grows up. If this appeals to you, then you will likely enjoy the book. Ou...
