I really enjoyed this book. The steampunk wasn't distracting and actually added to the world and plot. I liked the characters and I'd like to see some more adventures, even if Brook decides to follow Scarsdale or Lady Corsair (I wouldn't mind a book with Fox and Yasmeen) with Rhys and Mina taking more of a back seat. The characters weren't perfect, but they also weren't so proud they couldn't admit to their mistakes and try to make them right. They worked through their issues in a relatively beleivable way (instead of everything just bein magical all at once).
