I received a free copy in return for a (hopefully unbiased) review.So:  It's not really steampunk.  More like steampunk-esque fantasy.  The plot description doesn't really do justice to the book, though.  Really very well plotted and fast moving.I found the world-building pretty imaginative, somewhat reminescent of the Studio Ghibli movies.The protagonists are sympathetic; I found the inner dialogues humorous (I don't know if that was the effect the author intended, but I was amused by the adult version of teen angst).  The plot and adventure move very quickly.  This is definitely a "can't put it down page turner" (or more correctly, Kindle-thumb-scroller).Highly recommended.Oh--rated "R" for adult situations.
