Review: Found DieselPunk and love it!

This is a thrilling, adventure ride through a 're-imagined DieselPunk version of World War II.  This is the story of Veronica 'Ronnie' Somerset a woman pilot trying to make it in a man's world. She's sent to what she believes is a banishment but turns out to be her best opportunity. Ronnie not only gets to fly a prototype plane the DragonFly but flies combat missions, but is able to travel on a dangerous mission where she discovers a strength and skill she didn't know existed within it. While speeding through the novel; which you can't help but read almost as fast as the DragonFly; I was able to feel Ronnie' s love of country and her belief that Britain must survive at any cost. While this was a fantasy novel the horrors of the actual War resonates in this book and you can imagine that if the technology (or magic as Ronnie calls it) had been available Hitler's army would have performed such atrocities. The illustrations only helped make the book that much more believable.
