Review: Worth the read
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 3, 2013
Well-written, with a suspenseful, twisting story line. I didn't love the mix of steampunk and futuristic technology, though. Putting holograms and the year 2030 together with steam power and brass just seemed like McIntyre couldn't decide what type of sci-fi she wanted to write. There also was an overabundance of similes. You can only read "blank like a blank" so many times in one chapter before it starts to become irritating. Finally, I had to knock my rating down from 4 stars to 3.5 stars for the irritating factual errors, such as McIntyre placing Reno, Nevada on the coastline and not realizing that Germany follows the dd/mm/yyyy date format favored by Europe.
