3.5 STARSIncarnation is the retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula with a twist. I wasn’t sure what to expect from it, but I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the variation on the famous story. I was initially attracted to the Victorian Steampunk elements of the book; and although they were there th...

I assumed when I started this book that it was a single novel. After reading it, I'm not so sure. The ending was very open. I'm not sure if I'm hoping for a sequel or not!I don't really remember the Lucy from Dracula, so I think I lost something there. I might have had a different reaction to this b...

I'm still a newbie when it comes to steampunk. Sometimes the genre is obvious to me, and sometimes - like with Incarnation - I have a hard time understanding where the genre classification stems from. Incarnation is definitely Victorian, but I wasn't able to pick up on the technology that would plac...

A beautiful melding of time period and myth, INCARNATION drifts through the misty streets of an imagined London. Without bogging down in accent or details, Cornwall creates a new mythology of the Slayer, vampires, and werewolves, as well as the city itself. Lucy awakens to her second life alone an...
