I loved this collection and am so glad I discovered this author.We have an alternate history for the British Empire and  the American territories, a perfectly executed  version of Victorian high society behaviour complete with a splendidly crisp 1880s style of intellectual and moral educational conversation when Claire deals with her charges. Add to that the wonderful steampunk devices, the anti-sexist message, the political intrigue, some great villains and an understated romance. Best of all, this is a really well plotted and written tale with no profanity or sex, and not too much violence.I'd say anyone from about 10-99 will enjoy it.I'm off to look for the next of Ms Adina's books.Although, she should note that the Seychelles are not in the Atlantic ocean.
