Review: Could have been 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 19, 2014
I'd give this book 4 1/2 stars instead of 5 only because it was the first book I've read in the series but is Book 3. Ms. Buroker does her usual fine job providing action, adventure, mystery, thrills, magic and a little love story in a steampunk universe. The reason it doesn't get that last half star is because of the difficulty I had finding my way and getting a feel for this new world. I understand it is  a very difficult thing to draw the reader into the new world without boring readers who have been following the story through the previous 2 books. I eventually felt pretty comfortable about 3 or 4 chapters in but I was left with many questions (which I'll now answer by going back and reading the first 2).
