The Sea Is Ours: Tales from Steampunk Southeast Asia by Joyce Chng
5.0
You had me at Southasian steampunk.
This book shows that Steampunk is not limited (and should not be) limited to Victorian-era, western lands, ideas, culture, etc. Reading how these amazing authors entwine the concept of steampunk with different Asian history and mythology just made me appreciate the genre even more. And to see a reflection of my culture in this genre (which I rarely, dare I say never, see is soooo refreshing).
Cheers to Rosarium Publishing for publishing this amazing anthology, which is definitely my go-to for steampunk. This is not a book for steampunk fans to miss.
