Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. when i chose this book, i was hoping more steampunk and mystery and less romance. what i got was Romanze, some mystery and it is not considered steampunk just because you mention an apparatus. I hardly ever read reviews before reading a book myself, After i managed to get to 22% in the book, I looked at some reviews to see if other readers had the same problem. They did. This book was a quite a bit a let down. I am not sure if i will try it at a later time. The characters were sappy, superficial and predictable. While reading the book, i wished it was done already. I stopped where i did, since live is too short to keep reading a bad book just because you want to complete it. The book was free on Amamzon Kindle, otherwise it would have been a bit upsetting. ( ) I should have looked up the definition of steampunk. Science fiction has never been a favorite genre of mine and this book falls into that category. I wasn't able to separate myself from the genre enough to enjoy this book. The characters were annoying and unforunately, this was like reading a foreign language. A review of this book causes an interesting dilemma for me. I found the romantic scenes extremely exciting, yet the characters were not well developed. All the main characters were exceedingly stubborn to the point of being a little dim-witted. The mystery, on the other hand, had me absolutely enthralled. I was sure I knew the killer and his motives (never the same) as each new piece of evidence was found. The true murderer and the true motives came as a bit of a shock! I think Calista Taylor has the potential to take these characters to the next level, especially if she can find a way to make the characters as complex as her murder plot... Other things I noticed: 1) lots of typos, missed words, etc. 2) All the important action happens near the end, leaving the reader with a slightly anticlimatic feeling. 3) that obnoxious Gaelic accent sounds aweful in my head, and wasn't pleasant... or necessary. But I enjoyed it. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
