    This is a glowing review of what sounds like an amazing book. I've never read a novel centered around a desire for opium; how intriguing! Also, dynamic characters who subvert expectations? That makes this a need-to-read. Thanks for the great review.

    I picked this up on @Reader's say so through the boards and I could not put it down. The Victorian genre of "Scientific Romance" is about all I can fit to this: real people, in a real Vicorian world of slums and pirates, and airships. The entire book's difference to the real world could be summed up as "If airships had been invented fifty years earlier and become the main source of transport..."

    Wow! What a review. Makes me want to read this right away. It also reminds me of Ruby in the Smoke by Phillip Pullman. That was one that I couldn't put down. I do hope this one will be the same. Thank you!
     
  5. I agree. Your review was very tantalizing. I also think the cover is a winner! I'm not much into Steampunk, but I may have to reevaluate.
