Disclaimer: I’ve never seen this story before this week.

At chapter 17 up on the site, I am enthralled by this witty steampunk story. Take a Pratchett-esque sense of humour, add lots of brass fittings, pipes and embroidered velvet, throw in a dash of intrigue sprawled across two decades and you may have an idea of what this book is about. The only fault I could point out were a few paragraphing errors, however I was too busy reading to take note of the page number . . . 

What impressed me the most were the descriptions – not only the people but every item from shadow to machine to mathematical equation, was immediately brought to life by the cunningly strung words.

Anyone with a penchant for the flamboyant and ready for a good snigger will enjoy this. And best of all: you can purchase the complete book directly from the site.
