Review: Definitely a short read; didn't love it, didn't hate it.

I was really trying to get used to reading on my iPad and figured an inexpensive read would be a good way to do so.I didn't have expectations going into this, let me make that bit clear. The subject matter appealed to me - Steampunk, female lead, Victorian England. I knew it was a short story, designed to introduce me to the main character in the forthcoming "The Girl in The Steel Corset (The Steampunk Chronicles)" and enjoyed getting to know a bit about Miss Finley Jayne.Reading this short story, though, felt a bit rushed. It felt like this experience I have when trying to write on my own: I have a good idea for a story line, I get it on paper, and about half way into it, I just can't figure out where I want it to go. So I end it in a way that satisfies the storyline, but sometimes feels a bit contrived.In the end, it did leave me wanting to know more about Finley, and her mysterious condition which seemed both a blessing and a curse.
