I‘m reading my first #steampunk ever for #booked2018. Major cities move around on huge rollers and are called traction cities and have to eat other cities to survive. Early in the novel two characters fall/are pushed off of London and #waydownwego to what is termed the outcountry, the muddy earth below the traction cities. #outsidemycomfortzone #getmovin #newgenre
Cinfhen Oh wow!! Look at you #multitasking 🙌🏻❣️ Are u enjoying the book?? Im dreading the #steampunk prompt 7y
Blaire @Cinfhen yeah, so was I. I went for ya steampunk because felt like less commitment. I‘m not generally a fantasy/sci-fi person so didn‘t know what to expect. The world of mortal engines is strange and I‘m not sure I truly get it, but its interesting and the narrative moves along, and there‘s an adventure/suspense feel to it. 7y
Cinfhen I‘m thinking of reading![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Cathythoughts Sound fun & exciting! I think I‘ll try & join in the challenges next year. Fair play to you for trying something different! Exciting 7y
Blaire @Cinfhen I‘ve read cinder, because saw it recommended a lot. I found it just ok. Finished it but wasn‘t compelled to read more of the series. Quick read tho. (Didn‘t realize it was steampunk when I read it - before I‘d heard the term). (edited) 7y
Cinfhen I‘m not sure if it‘s legit #steampunk but someone on Litsy said it was...I read Monstress but it was definitely NOT steampunk in my opinion so I‘m not counting it.Monstress 7y
MonstressCinfhen @Cathythoughts if you want you can still join in on #booked2018...especially since it‘s split in quarters...the new quarter starts July 1 (edited) 7y
Cinfhen But feel free to jump in today... 7y
Centique @Cinfhen oh boy I love Cinder but I think you‘ll hate it. It‘s more sci fi/fantasy/fairytale retelling in my opinion. There‘s no steam technology or Victorian dresses. What about Soulless? You won‘t love it like I do but it‘s quick!Soulless 7y
SoullessCentique @Cinfhen the more I think about it, I think you‘ll hate that too 😂😂 But I won‘t be emotionally scarred by you hating it like I will with Cinder 😂😂😂 😘 7y
Cinfhen Hmmmm, Everybody seems to love Souless....I‘m gonna go with that choice @Centique although I‘m 100% sure I‘m going to HATE IT 7y
Centique @Cinfhen 😂😂 Good! You‘ll possibly struggle with the tone at first. Try and think of it as gently ridiculous, it‘s over the top but it‘s tongue in cheek. It took me a few pages to relax and just let it be. Expect silly and you might get the odd giggle. 👍👍 7y
Cinfhen I think going in with low expectations might serve me better @Centique I just feel like I‘m wasting my precious reading time 7y
