First of all, I just have to say that Frost reminded me soooooooo much of Captain Jack Harkness, it wasn't even funny! The way he's able to capture the attention of everyone in the room with his sexually charismatic charm - he came off the page sooooo well!I probably should have read book 1 on this one. I'm usually able to just pick up and run after starting in the middle. There were enough re-caps that I was able to get the main gist of the story itself, but where I struggled was in terminology. Usually, I'm GREAT at picking that up quick. Why? Because my geeky little brain devours that like it's candy. Not so much with this one. I realize that I should have been able to "get it". I really should have. I don't know. I just couldn't. I SHOULD dock a smile/star for that . . . but I just can't. I can't.This book was amazing!!The writing was a little slow. I had to remind myself that this is A.) Steampunk and B.) Fantasy so having a more relaxed pace was perfectly acceptable. As soon as I released the inner tension, stress and over-caffination, I was able to relax and enjoy. The Voice of the book really helped to build this world. The characters came off the page really well.And this WORLD!!! *hops in chair like a child on too much sugar* It's so COOL!! My inner geek was on a holiday! I kid you not! There was just so much going on! The book and the storytelling had so many delicious layers! It was beautiful! Epic-ally beautiful!Should you read it? Ohhhhhh my word! YES! I was half-way through it and bought the first book to read later AND I was lucky enough to score the third book! I've been excited about books before, but it's been a long time since I've been this excited about a series! Great, GREAT job! Awesome!I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
