Welcome to Litsy!

This series sounds like Steampunk Sherlock Holmes with a kickass female as the “Watson” role - so basically everything I thought I would love. Unfortunately I‘m just not getting into the book at this moment, so I‘ve decided to put it down and try again some other time.

I only have the first two books so far. Lilith Saintcrow got me started on Steampunk! Paranormal, Victorian Era, Mystery, Alternate History, Sassy Independent Heroine... What's not to love? 😍💝😍 #favoriteseries

Listening yesterday— Something Happened! and I said “Oh, shit!” loudly in the car. Always a good indication of a well- written (and in this instance well-read) book, in my experience.

This took a little while to get going, but ended up an interesting steampunk conspiracy with some intricate world-building. The characters developed throughout the book, so while I wasn't terribly invested in them in the beginning, I became more so by the end.

I don't think I generally like the execution of steampunk as much as the theory, but I'd still give this 3.5 🌟. Someone who really loves steampunk might rate it even higher.

...she suddenly longed for a glass of decent wine and an exceedingly sensational and frivolous novel, read in the comfort of her own bed.

I sort of liked this but I didn't love it, therefore, only a so-so verdict. Rating: 2.5/5

#feistyfeb #day17 #homage These Bannon & Clare books from Lilith Saintcrow are an homage to Holmes & Watson. If Holmes was a mentath in a steampunk version of London and Watson was a female sorceress sworn to protect him. These are dark, twisted, funny & above all else, exciting. I highly recommend these, especially if steampunk & alternate earths are your thing.

I went to visit @Vljax in Charlottesville and had to check out some bookstores!! I'm trying to not buy as many books, so I showed some restraint. 😊

#seasonsreadings2016 #day14 #steampunk I love steampunk. If I was able to get to a cosplay convention, I'd be in corsets,top hats & goggles.🎩These are just a few of my steampunk books,Lilith Saintcrows Bannon&Clare series is amazing, Vermilion was very entertaining, Mirror&Goliath was not a favourite but Gail Carrigers Parasol Protectorate is one of the best steampunk series out there. It's a great place to start if you've never read any before.

I so love Victorian English!🌂🎩🇬🇧
