This was my first Steampunk novel and also my first look at author Meljean Brook's writing. Both of which I was suitably impressed with.The world-building was extensive and quite frankly would take too long to try to summarise. If I even begin with the whole nano-agents stuff we're going to be here ...
Ugh. This book. My rating is more like one and a half stars.I am a lover of steampunk, fantasy, paranormal, and suspense novels, everything this book TRIES to be. It doesn't succeed at any one of them. The only thing I probably liked was the darker tone it brought to the steampunk genre, and the fac...
This book deserves all the kudos it is getting. The world building alone is superb. It felt fully realized and incredibly well conceived. Make no mistake, this author doesn't just mention a steamship here and a mechanical something there and voilà! we have steampunk. No the very dna of the char...

Detective Inspector Mina Wenthworth is the daughter of the Earl of Rockingham, but she lives in a version of England that not long ago was enslaved by the Mongol Horde, and had been for centuries. The Horde infected the populace with nanoagents, and were able to control them with electronic frequenc...
I loved loved loved the alternate history of this world: the horde, the bugs, the frenzies, the personal history of the main character. It was a completely excellent concept.With that said, I am just not a fan of books in the Romance Genre. Though the sex scenes in this were less "Flowery" than so...
England is a wreck - struggling to come back from being ruled by The Horde (a race that infected the population with mechanical bugs - ones that they could then control at will). The world at large still works on the basis of those that were infected and those that were not - oh, then then there ar...
