I have to be honest, I'm not sure that Steampunk is for me. I'm just not really in the scifi/fantasy world that it entails. Which is a little disappointing because I love the time frame. I actually really liked all the characters. Finley was just the right female lead for this story. She's fiery and doesn't take crap for anybody, even when it jeopardizes her position. I love her darker side. It almost reminded me of multiple personalities. I enjoyed the story behind who she is and how her father was a part of it. Which brings us to Griffin, the dark knight. He's got some powers as well. But, his social status open doors that no one else could possible imagine. Add in Sam (the incredible hulk), Emily (the brain), and Jasper (because what group isn't complete without a cowboy), and it's an interesting group. I loved the interactions, their powers, and how the stick together no matter what. I even liked the plot. Unraveling the mystery behind "The Machinist" and what he really wanted was engaging. I liked how it seemed like the attacks were random but were really an intricate design involving Queen Victoria, her diamond jubilee, and personal revenge. I liked the romance. It was there but not an really important part of the story. It was really just the steampunk aspect of the story. I'm not sure what it is that throws me off. This is the second book I've read that I would categorize like this and I didn't really like the other one either. I'll continue to give it a try and hope that I find something that I wows me!
