(3.5)This novel certainly can't be accused of lacking adventure nor acronymic gadgets.  What a ride!  Ichabod and Persephone certainly had an unusually exciting meeting and journey thereafter.  Ichabod couldn't seem to pass up saving Persephone every chance he got and there was plenty.  Plenty paranormals after Persephone so plenty of opportunities for Ichabod to practice his gentlemanliness and use of his inventions.  What an adorable couple they turned out to be.  Opposites do attract.  I wonder what they'll be up to in the next installment!I thought I hadn't read any steampunk but I read Cassandra Clare's Clock Work Angel and enjoyed it.  A Matter of Temperance is in that same genre but this take is lighter.  There was some giggle worthy moments.  Mix that with around the world backdrop and you've got yourself a fast moving venturesome book.  As you can imagine, I enjoyed Ichabod's stop in the Philippines.  Not much was said but I like the mention nonetheless.My impression of the writing was fearless and dramatic.  I got a theatrical feel in the read.  Wouldn't be surprised if this gets turned into film.  Hence, a solid good book.  It just needs another editing run through to clean up some minor composing texts.
