So I got this book yesterday and was kind of planning on reading it somettime next week... But then, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to sneak a peek. All of a sudden, it was 4 am and I overslept this morning.While this book is rather short, it is definitely a fun, worthwhile read. The H/h were interesting, I especially enjoyed the switching perspective which brought both protagonists to life. I kind of missed the witty dialogue that is prevalent in all books by the author I've read, but that is probably because I was subcousiously waiting for the usual shenanigans from the EE Series. Here, both Characteres behaved mostly sane and mature ;)The one thing that confused me was the steampunk factor. To me, this story felt more like a similar universe/setting to the EE Series rather than steampunk. Yes, aviation devices and technology were mentioned, but not in abundance. Adding the sorcery bit, I would have shelved this into fantasy rather than steampunk. But that shouldn't deter anyone who likes a good story with an usual, if somewhat simple plot.
