Ticker

Could not do it. I was looking forward to trying steampunk some day. When this book came up in Amazon First I was ready.
I honestly tried. I loved the concept of the book, but could not get get past the pseudo-latin named, described in detail gadgetry. About 5 pages into the book I even told myself that “if these things were horses and swords or laser guns and rockets I would probably like it, keep going you will get used to it.” I never did get used to it, because there was just too much of it in too much detail.
I'm not ready to give up on the sub-genre. But I need to find another example. I won't say better, because I really can't judge this book's quality.
