Finished this yesterday for #FabulousFebruary

This turned out to be better than expected. I‘m always hesitant when male authors are writing female main characters, but the author did a good job. This is a steampunk/alternative history set in 2012.

I‘m using it for #pop22 set on a ship, #booked2022 a nautical novel, #NoShameReadathon - Steampunk, #Roll100, #DecadesReadathon

I bailed on this one. Just couldn't get into it. And the whaling was horrible.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 113.

Hey #LMPBC #GroupC ! Here are some fantasy options. I don‘t have a ton of retellings. Chrissy- I forget which of my retelling books you‘ve already read!

I‘ll tag the books in the comments. Let me know what you all like or don‘t. If none of these appeal to you, I‘ll see what else I have!

Lesanne I like Deadly Education and Angel of the Crows, but I haven‘t read any of them so any of them would be okay! 4y
Chrissyreadit I‘m open to any but my first choice is A deadly Education, then Angel of of Crows , Then The Rowen the Confessions 4y

This book was so fun to read, I devoured the whole thing in a night and a half. Full of suspense at every turn, the protagonist‘s motives were plentiful and powerful. Beautiful symbolism throughout.

Steampunk featuring a gender-fluid protagonist, w/ feminist themes? Sure, I‘ll give it a shot. But author didn‘t pull off gender issues. Plot dragged a bit, & l wasn‘t wowed by the alternate world in which technology is controlled (repressed) in an effort to maintain global peace. Super-abrupt ending. I‘m not interested enough to read more of these books. 🎧 audiobook — Gemma Whelan‘s performance was great and is only reason I finished book.

readinginthedark That‘s disappointing. 😕 7y
