This was my first steampunk book so it was interesting. I enjoyed the story and the characters. Blade was funny and Honoria had her too proud moments but was still a likeable enough character. The big bad wasn't as bad as they built him up to be bot otherwise the story was enjoyable. 
 story - 2.75 
 narrator - 2.5 
 the narrator's voice for blade was a bit meh for me. at one point she gave Will two different voices before settling on one. very odd.
