This book took me forever to get through, but only because my life got crazy right around the time I started it. 
 Also, let me tell you how much I love 1) steampunk in general and 2) alternative histories/universes. Because that plays a significant factor into how much I adored this book. 
 Seriously. 
 So much bias. 
 It's a fun read, enjoyable as hell. And I've seen people complain about all the info-dumping, but I actually really liked it. It was presented well and swept me right up into the world. And for once, the POV switches weren't totally jarring. 
 Highly recommended. And I need to find the next book immediately, gosh.
