Solid YA steampunk romance. Adult desires/relationships are alluded to but for most teens that's less than what they hear in real life. Character development continues from the other parts of the series I've read, and the series has an interesting take on automans/humans. This one is the end to a series but it's set up so it could be continued, possibly with more novellas.

jpmcwisemorgan This was my third entry in the #bookisholympics. I've already started the fifth one! 8y

I guess I'm reading the last one first, and on my computer at work because I can get it download to my Kindle. It's a good thing I read some of the short stories. This will be my third entry in the #bookisholympics, but it will probably be the last to be finished because I'm reading at work.

TheSpinecrackersBookClub Woohoo. You're doing really well. 8y
jpmcwisemorgan @TheSpinecrackersBookClub Thanks! I think we should hold another one of these that's just for finishing all the books you have started. I have a lot of those right now... 8y

Another Ya series I devoured. I wish it would continue. Steampunk heroes and deliciously comical and deep characters make this series entertaining. This the final book in the series, and it leaves room for a possible continuation.
