![]() When it's done well, it can add a certain flair and fun to a much more straight-forward tale. I have major, major issues with how the steampunk aspect was "incorporated" into the story - I like steampunk quite a lot and have read several series just for the inventive gadgets and sky-high dirigibles. There's love triangles galore (Jack-Finley-Griffin and Sam-Emily-Jasper), missed character potential in order to focus on fripperies, coffee (coffee? SERIOUSLY? Where's the tea?!) and clothing, and most damning (and frustrating as a reader) of all, there are unfulfilled and unexplained plotlines AFTER the resolution and roundup on the final page (seriously, who killed Felix?). ![]() ![]() The Girl in the Steel Corset is just plain bad, and often a mess by many measures. ![]()
