I am simply amazed by how good this book was. Not only was it easily the same quality as bestselling authors in the sci-fi / fantasy genre, it created an utterly unique world and excellent characters. The main character is hard-nosed and quippy without being a typical one-dimensional, omnipotent hero; she showed flashes of self-doubt and vulnerability that highlighted the frailty of humanity in this nightmarish world. As a genre fan, the combined elements of steampunk, sci-fi, and Lovecraftian mythos were just irresistible to me, and seamlessly incorporated. So excited to read more, I sure hope this author's fantasy writing is just as good!
