I don't have a true favorite, but I just read The Friday Society on the flight to North Dakota and it's pretty awesome. Buffy-style dialogue, girls becoming superheroes . . . but there aren't enough explosions.
Soulless so far.... but I'm still a bit of a steampunk newbie...
I struggle to find steampunk novels that work for me, despite that I find the genre appealing (that makes sense, right?). However, I loved, loved, loved Meljean Brook's latest, Riveted (I'd liked the second book in the series, greatly disliked the first). I was completely swept away by the world and characters.
Ahh. Thank you for this awesome giveaway. <3 Hmm. I would say The Iron Thorn :D So amazing.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I loved Soulless, of course! Also, the Iron Thorn was really good.
I adored The Boneshaker by Kate Milford, but Soulless remains my favorite!
Still a relative newbie with steampunk, but I loved Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters :D
Thank you for the giveaways & posts, also Happy Steampunk Week <3
My favourite steampunk reads are Christine Danse's novellas, Kenneth Oppel's Matt Cruse series, Scott Westerfeld's LEVIATHAN series, and Gail Carriger's SOULLESS. There's tons of great short steampunk, too. I'm always so happy when I come across a story in an anthology or magazine, and there have been some great steapunk-only collections like STEAMPUNK!, STEAMPUNK (with no exclamation mark), and EXTRAORDINARY ENGINES.
Souless was my favourite steampunk read, but all of Gail Cariger's Parasol Protectorate books are amazing.
