AudiobookI was listening to this book thinking as I was going along, "Oooh, that's the guy she ends up with, oh wait nope." Then, "No, I was wrong, this is the guy she ends up with." Nope, this is not a romance book at all unlike the first one and I didn't mind. I loved, loved, loved the ending. Can...
This series is getting better. Part of it could be that Priest doesn't make this a sequel to Boneshaker so much as it's another story set in the same world. The main character is the daughter to one of the secondary characters in the first book, but otherwise this is a story about her, and about war...
Vastly inferior to Boneshaker. I was bothered, more in this book than the other, by the historical revisions of this world--the lengthened American Civil War, changing its motives from a war over slavery, doesn't sit quite right with me: it's fantasy, I know, but it treads the line of diminishing th...
There is something about train journeys. It isn’t just the “romance” of the journey, but the ability to sit back, relax and watch the word. You see and appreciate, the key here, the views and vistas that you pass by. Stories that take place on train journeys should capture some of this. Dreadnoug...
Review originally posted here.Why I Read It: Loved Boneshaker, so I jumped right into the sequel as soon as I could.This is going to be a relatively short review because I actually read this quite awhile ago, but suffice it to say that I really enjoyed this installment of the Clockword Century serie...
Life has hardened Nurse Mercy, who's spent years patching up war wounded in a US civil war that seems endless. But when her personal circumstances change abruptly, she packs up and heads west to meet a father she barely remembers - along the way using her knowledge, skills, courage and intelligence ...
I liked this one better than Boneshaker (which I enjoyed quite a bit,) it feels less YA, and the relative lack of zombies is just lovely. The wider, overlong-civil-war is more interesting and more immersive, and manages to occasionaly hit a real note of grandiose tragedy, as opposed to Seattle of th...
A Union operated, heavy-armored steam engine, the titular Dreadnought, is the centerpiece of this novel. In the world of the Dreadnought, the Civil War has been going on for so long that even much of the South has freed its slaves. Texas remains an independent Republic and Mexico is ruled by Empero...
