The Clockwork Dynasty

I wasn't too impressed.
I'm not very knowledgeable about steampunk but I don't think this
fits into the category very well.
Sure the robots have gears and cables but the controlling device and power source have nothing
to do with the either Babbages machines or steam power.
I also had a problem with the use of the word pravda.
The book says it means “truth and justice” but I grew up in the US during the Cold War and Pravda was the means of dispersing Soviet propaganda and thus the opposite of truth and justice.
It was a distraction in reading the book.
