tl;dr This book was ok. Great setting and idea, but the writing wasn't the best. [[MORE]]Description: Araby Worth is our main character, set in a period (I think pre-industrial revolution? Not 100% sure, but def a steampunk setting) in which a deadly plague has killed off much of the population, inc...
I actually enjoyed the book. In fact I more than enjoyed the book. What everyone else has said about this I am going to discount and say for all my expectations of a mediacore read it far surpassed them.

Overall I thought that this was a good, but not great, novel and start to the series. I think that the use of Poe's short story for the basis of this book was a great idea. However, I feel that what was keeping this novel from being really great was the world-building and plot. While the setting and...
