I was actually very surprised at the low ratings for this book because I thought it was great! I read some reviews prior to buying it, and one of the main complaints is that it isn't steampunk enough. With that, I must agree. I feel that if this is going to be marketed as a steampunk novel, there needs to be steampunk involved. There needs to be mentions of the bizarre fashions, automatons, steam-powered inventions, and such. The only real mention of steampunk was in the Order's inventions, but that just isn't enough. So, I went into reading this novel with an open mind, and not expecting steampunk. I was pleasantly surprised though at how much I enjoyed it. I thought I might be let down because one of the main reasons I wanted this book to begin with was because I am a steampunk fanatic, but what I found was a fantastically crafted world, and a novel that took the reader on an exciting and breath-taking adventure from beginning to end. 
 The story was extremely intriguing. I was constantly on the edge of my seat, waiting to discover what part of the puzzle the group was going to find next. Ms. Bailey's writing was great in my opinion. There were plenty of funny lines, and cute, romantic moments. I didn't like the "insta-love" aspect of it, but I was cheering on Meg and Will. I will say that Meg's doubts were slightly annoying at times, but it wasn't anything major. To me, it's just like the doubts any girl has when they meet a guy. The adventure was heart-stopping and action-packed. Ms. Bailey incorporated different aspects of myths and legends, and blended them together to create a fabulous adventure and story. I couldn't wait to see how the story ended. 
 The ending was just as action-packed as the rest of the adventure, and I can't wait to see where the sequel will take us. I'm can't wait to read what Ms. Bailey has in store for us readers because I'm sure it will be just as good! Like I said, don't go into this novel expecting steampunk because you will be sorely disappointed. However, if you put that aspect out of your mind, I'm sure you'll enjoy the story!
