Review:

Isn't the cover gorgeous? The fact that this is a steampunk novel makes it *that* much better :-)  This is actually my second time reading this book.  The first time I read it was about 1 year ago (or maybe 1.5 years?)  Anyways, I decided to refresh my memory a bit by rereading Clockwork Angel so that I could give it an accurate review.

Blog Post: Steampunk

I love steampunk books. They're one of my favorite genres to read. Unfortunately, it seems as if steampunk is one of the lesser know genres, which is really quite a pity. Plus, I find steampunk covers to be really eye-catching too! Anyways, according to dictionary.com, here is the definition of steampunk:

noun

1.

a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy featuring advanced machines and other technology 

basedon steam power of the 19th century and taking place in a recognizable historical period or

a fantasyworld

In other words, key concepts of steampunk novels include: steam powered machinery, a Victorian-London styled era setting and clothing, fantastical inventions and often times a dash of magic.
