I have enjoyed Kady Cross's previous Steampunk Chronicles entries, beginning with the prequel "The Strange Case of Finley Jayne".I am not a big fan of novellas typically and hate forking over $1.99 for a short tease, some of which can be disappointingly blech.That said, this is a good one.  It is billed as Steampunk Chronicles #2.5 and is a segue to "The Girl with Iron Touch." I was a bit lukewarm on the second installment in this series, but Jack Dandy is my favorite of Kady Cross's characters, followed by Emily O'Brien w featured in book 3. When I read that his adventure would be continued in that book, I didn't hesitate to 1-click to my Kindle!Jack Dandy, like the younger version of Johnny Depp I imagine him to be, does not disappoint here. He is rogue-ish, flawed, beautiful and ruthlessly sensitive. The storyline here, while brief, is still descriptive and well-executed. Kady Cross continues to develop both her writing skills and her ongoing characters smoothly and with verbal appeal.Very happy to have "The Girl with the Iron Touch" on its way to me as I type this.
