Customer Reviews

This book isn't actually YA

So I'm a pretty firm believer that this book was only sold as YA because it was written by a woman. You can like it as a middle schooler! In fact I did! But I think it's defiantly something to reread as an adult. Steampunk, sky pirates, finishing school, vampires and a genuinely wonderful writing style makes this book remarkable.

A rollercoaster from beginning to end!

Truly for all ages, if one likes plot twists, sky pirates, battles and cunning ladies of notability. Follow the story of the main heroine who outwits nearly everyone around her and has the most take-charge attitude of the times. Full of steam, soot and disguise, this first book in the series definitely makes you (or me) want more when you turn the last page.
