Relford Matthews relfordm — Couldn't put it down! I've read more than a few accounts of the voyage of the Endurance, and this was by far the best. Definitely recommend, a incredible story full of detail from Shackleton's journal

Silvia Tueros-cossio silviatc — First rate review of how the values of the entertainment industry do not generally mirror those of the American population at large.

Kayla Thompson kaylathomp6f00 — Update 12/20: OMG THIS COVER IS AWESOME! I like that it's not the same model as the previous cover (who looked a whole heck of a lot like Megan Fox!). Can't wait to read this book!! Review Similar Books: Soulless by Gail Carriger, Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore I enjoyed Kady Cross's YA debut The Girl in the Steel Corset last year, so I was excited to get the sequel from NetGalley. And while most sequels tend to not be as good as the original book, I think I liked this one even better than the first! (I'm also IN LOVE with the cover, but more on that later.) What was great about this book was the change of setting. You don't get many steampunk novels set in America, so it was really interesting to see Finley and the gang in New York City. This also gives them the opportunity to meet a very important inventor who plays a major role in the plot. (Hint: It's not Thomas Edison.) I also thought the characters really came into their own in this book. Finley still struggles with merging the two sides of herself, but she grows in confidence in who she is. I also loved how Griffin struggled with trusting her - he's afraid that she'll end up choosing to be bad instead of good. And he has a serious hero complex, but it was recognized as a character flaw rather than an asset, and I found that really interesting. He didn't really do it for me in the first book, but I ended up liking him a lot in this sequel! He's the brains behind the operation, and he binds everyone together. He struggles with letting go of the reins a little when it comes to Finley, letting her take more control of the situation - great conflict! And while we were introduced to Jasper's character in the previous book, he takes a much more central role in this book. He instantly became my favorite character. I adore a funny guy, and he was also really sweet and charming. It's adorable that he calls the girls Miss Finley or Miss Emily. And OMG he's a freakin COWBOY! I loved him. Seriously. But something I noticed was that all the characters felt a bit old. I'm not sure if it's because of the historical setting, where people grew up quicker or because there really aren't any adults in this book, but Griffin and Sam especially felt really mature. They came off as a 20-somethings to me. Not that that's bad, it just didn't seem to fit all that much with the YA genre, I guess. You can say Sam is 17 but if he acts 25, I'm going to think of him as 25. I also wished there could have been some more interplay between Sam and Emily. They really took a backseat in this book since Jasper became more prominent. And I understand that the Jasper/Mei and Griffin/Finley relationships were the important ones, but I missed Sam's awkwardness and Emily's scolding; they're precious. And OMG WHERE WAS JACK DANDY?! Okay, I get it - he's still in England. But he was sorely missed in this book. I think Cross tried to replace him with Dalton, the villain of this book, but I'm sorry - there is no comparison. While Jack really embodied the Cockney crook (how's that for alliteration?), Dalton didn't really feel all that much like a Southern gentleman when he was supposed to be from Virginia. I guess that surprised me since all the other characters really reflected their homes (like Jasper being a California cowboy and Emily's Irish-isms) with the exception of him. I guess it's better than being a caricature, but I wish he'd at least said 'y'all.' Overall, this was a solid sequel. I really enjoy a good steampunk, and I'm looking forward to the third book! But all I've got to say is there had BETTER be some more Jack Dandy!!!

Sulaiman Kuttasseri _ — Love this book, so I re-read it this summer.
