In A Word - Fun! 4starsThis was a delightful self contained novella kicking off the Steampunk Chronicles.  We meet Finley as she is unequivocally being dismissed from her position as a maid.  Luckily Finley does not have to go job-hunting as a position finds her rather quickly.In her new position as companion to one of society's debutantes, Finley finds herself elbow deep in the mysteries surrounding her charges fiancé. Shortly we find just how different Finley is from the run of the mill regular girl.The characters were interesting, the plot and storyline flowed well.  It was more than serviceable as an intro to this series or to the genre - it was enjoyable. The fault with the novella if indeed there is one is that it was so short.  I was able to read it in one sitting.This is only my second venture into the steam-punk genre, but I'll definitely look for more of Ms. Finley James.
