This was my second read of a story set in the genre of Steampunk. I found it interesting as I've always had a fascination of dirigible air flight.I found several of the characters interesting. Captain Bonny was a man of morals, yet his first love, the goddess Aide, kept him from ever being happy to live earthbound. Then there was Dudley, who made an unlikely detective with a bulldog tenacity, yet an accountant's sharp mind. My favorite was Mister Bales who seemed the Sherlock Holmes of the ship, yet has an unusual dislike of cats.Overall, the story had a slow build but was seasoned well with quite the cast of scoundrels. It included aerial pirate fights, riding the winds of many storms, a bit of mystery, an unusual mechanical mutiny,  a touch of romance, and a few story twists.Done in a more narrative style of writing, you knew what the characters were thinking and what drove them in their search for fame and fortune.A good solid story, with a British flavor of writing. It makes a nice rainy day read.
