Thank you to #NetGalley for making this audiobook available for me to read and review.
I love the SteamPunk genre, my go-to genre is Dystopian Fiction, and I like a good fantasy as much as anyone... However, while this book did have all the elements of these (and more), I feel like it maybe tried to be too many things.
First, the good. The audiobook had two narrators, but also used some vocal effects and background noises and music. It was a nice touch, and the production was very good.
The bad isn't really all that bad. The story was mostly interesting, but I didn't feel like it had a logical flow. It just didn't really come together for me. The characters were mostly flat, and were inconsistent with their actions. The world was confusing and felt like it was forced into plot elements. However, the attention to detail in some of the steampunk elements were excellent.
I would probably read another book by this author.
