I haven't read Steampunk before, I thought I wouldn't like he genre - shows just how much I know.This was a terrific read, the characters are lovable and the storyline is fantastic. The genre is just different enough to capture my interest, a world where man is ahead of his time and the invention of clockwork and steam engines that power robotic animals, serving trays and children's toys as well as a prototype of the computer from a punch machine, fascinating!I like the authors writing style, the writing is concise and the main characters don't dither, they are direct and take charge. The inventions are believable and the world building is sustainable with the actual time period.I won't cover the synopsis except to say that the children are strong and inventive and Merrick and Caroline are a wonderful couple. The danger is believable and the action exciting. I'm definitely getting the rest of these books.  I did  have a time getting the right order, it is:Photographs & Phantoms (Haven't read this yet - its a novella)Steam and SorceryKilts and Kraken - a novellaMoonlight and MechanicalsCards & CaravansAshes & Alchemy
