Locus

It grabbed me right away with its strong characterisation, inventive premise, and tense plotting. It’s a smart, delightful step away from the dainty Victorian-era England setting we usually get with speculative fiction and into the soot-stained bootstraps of the Industrial Revolution. Technology and tension collide, sparking an interesting conflict that carries the reader all the way to the end.
