This book was nothing special. I mean I can't even rant about it. It was just aggressively not anything special. It was like a watered down Cassandra Clare book, and that feels about as insulting as I can get. None of the characters were that remarkable, the world was a bit confused (not the best introduction to steampunk), and none of the characters felt very new. 
 My Edition happened to be the one with the 100-page prequel novella at the beginning, which I didn't realize until I was fifty pages in and wondering why the plot was moving so fast, and that was a complete waste of time which probably left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the book. 
 Do I wish I'd never read it? Kinda. I just felt like it was an utter waste of my time, and I'm not going to recall any of this book in a few months.
