Reviews
Worldbuilding is key in steampunk, and I definitely think she got it. Formal society meets an alternative world.
This imaginative steampunk adventure blends mechanical wonders, strange creatures, and an intriguing alternate world into a setting that feels both familiar and refreshingly different.
Gripping mystery, and a fiercely determined protagonist. The world-building is immersive, filled with clockwork creatures, aetheric energy, and a society rigid with gender bias, which makes the heroine's journey all the more compelling.
