I enjoyed this SO much more than The Iron Duke. It still had the fantastic world building (seriously, the world Brook created is really well thought out) as the first book, minus the rape-y hero. 
 Speaking of the hero of the book, Archimedes Fox was just... I think I'm a little bit in love with him. I want to have him for my very own. I also think there should be more adventure romances. Lots more adventure romances, because this book was so much fun.
