*Rating* 3.5*Genre* YA Steampunk*Review*Caitlin Kittredge's The Iron Thorn is a YA steampunk novel set in the city of Lovecraft sometime in the early 20th century. Readers should be familiar with the name Lovecraft, if not, allow me to just say H.P Lovecraft and Google.com. The Iron Thorn is the fir...
Best book I've ever read in my life. It surprised me, it really did. I never cared much for 1st POVs, but this book absolutely made me adore them. Bow to them even. The characters were so well formed and amazing, with their flaws and their personalities... Everything about this book was perfect, and...
I'm honestly not sure how to explain how much I love this book! I mean, really. It blew me away in all the best ways possible. I'm a huge fan of Fantasy and of Steampunk. Caitlin Kitteredge takes these two genres, throws in a bit of dystopia, and blends it together into something beautifully unique ...

Enrolled in the School of Engines so she can become an engineer, she hopes that the necrovirus that drove her mother and brother to insanity won't strike he...
This book is tiring my brain. Its like watching Inception in 3D along with the Karen Marie Moning's Faefever series. Its deep. Its neurotic. Its psychedelic. Its like the feeling I get when I had to read a jumble of medical journal under a day. I love Caitlin Kittredge's books, I think this one is l...
This book is beautifully written. I was constantly writhing in jealousy over Ms. Kitteredge’s prowess where descriptions are concerned. She builds the world her characters inhabit with such painstaking detail that it springs up around you in the most amazing colours. You can almost smell the grease...
Despite some issues I really, really loved this book. The world isn’t something I encounter in YA very often: A fantasy/steampunk/clockpunk world set in an alternate 1950s. That, to me, is beyond awesome so right off the bat I was poised to love this book. And I definitely did. I found the world bui...
I enjoyed the world that was built in this story. Not only was it interesting but it captivated you from the very beginning. The adventure of the story was amazing. I live the searching fir secrets places, secrets rooms, secrets enemies, anything secrets was awesome to find. The action was dead on. ...
This is a promising start to a new series. The world is Lovecraftian with a focus on rationality to the point where fanciful drawings in the margins of a paper will earn severe punishment, likely in the form of a public burning with steam. Aoife's greatest fear is that on her 16th birthday she will...
