"I have the audio book. I absolutely love this book and listen to it frequently. It's definitely in my go to list for those times when I need something I can totally lose myself in. Can't wait to get the next one."
" I am in love with this series. It's just fun! I love Braun and Wellington. I cannot wait to see where this goes! "
" Another exciting, engaging excursion into an alternate reality that's just a step to the left. "
" I enjoy this Steampunk series. I enjoy the interaction of the two main characters. "
" The only redeeming part of this book is the character of Wellington Books, and the reason for two stars. Everything else about the book is 1 star as it all just fell flat. I don't think I'll read anything else of this series. "
" It was an enjoyable novel. This and the first novel in the series are my first experience with steampunk, and I think I'm going to make it my last. I just can't quite buy into the style with any passion. "
" Great fun, read, adventure story... "
" Engaging characters and overall awesome adventure! "
" More action than the first book, started out slow, once past the halfway point did not willingly put it down. "
" Love steampunk! And this book is a great addition to the genre. "
" A solid read and a very enjoyable romance. I liked that while the world was interesting, it never overshadowed the characters and their development. "
" Great Scott, I haven't read a book this satisfying in MONTHS! I'm still smiling from the ending. Oh, I can't wait for the third installment! "
" In which our agents disrupt a nefarious plot, learn quite a bit more about themselves, and piss off quite a few blokes in the process. "
" A great fun read. Have to wait for the next book to find out who "The Maestro" is, and what happens to some of the other "baddies". Loved it. "
