Too much, too much, too much. The book had potential, but was lost in a lengthy and overworked story. I love steampunk, but almost felt like the steampunk aspect was being crammed in my face, just in case I happened to forget that the book was steampunk. 
 I didn't have an intense dislike for the book, but couldn't find a lot to like about it either. I really wanted to like this one because the first few chapters grabbed me right off the bat, but something stalled out for me around chapter 7 or so and I wasn't able to get the mojo back.
