Actual rating: 4.5I wanted to read Flash Gold since before I knew it was free on Amazon, so I was very excited when I got it a few weeks ago. It was actually the first freebie I ever read, but it surely didn’t disappoint!The story is set in 1890s. Kali is an 18 year-old girl, living by herself in a ...

Kali's only hope of escaping the wild and frozen backwater she grew up in is to win a sled race. Her custom-made steam powered sled might just win her the race--except that bounty hunters are after her father's greatest invention, "flash gold", and they'll kill her to get it. Luckily for Kali, she...

Quick, fun read that has a full adventure that can be read in one sitting. This totally sated my yen for some fast steampunk...and fueled a desire for more. Just went to nab the other two novellas in the series. I enjoyed the heroine Kali, and have plenty of curiosity about her business partner C...

Sometimes you just need a good little novella. You know what I mean? A little story to fill up an hour, to fit between longer books, to break things up, to transport you for a short time without a huge, weighty time commitment. Last night I was cruising around Amazon looking for just that, and ra...

Good pacing, action, and characters make this is an enjoyable read. As this is a prequel novella, I'm looking forward to reading book 1.

This book is more of a Sci-Fi book than anything with it being based in the 1980's. It is hard to like it. This book would be more interesting if based in a different era. This would be a great book for a teenager or young adult to read.

I really enjoyed this book. Although it's a short story I really got into it, everything was well written and descriptive and I could imagine all of the scenes in my head. It's set in Yukon, in the Gold Rush era, a subject I'm pretty curious about. I particularly liked the addition of many Steampunk...

Flash Gold is my second foray into true Steampunk and it was a fun one. It's witty and campy and definitely packed with lots of action. I was disappointed that it was only 57 pages! I wanted more and I hope Ms. Buroker writes a follow-up. Kali McAlister is a spunky, feisty young woman determined ...
