Going into this book I was pleasantly surprised with the Mysterious/adventurous tone and plot that this book had. I had only read one book from this series previously and it focused more on the romance than adventure.
I also really liked how Piyali and Evan's relationship developed. It started off rocky but they were also professional to each other. I have seen too many books where these rocky relationships where they are still meant o have feelings, treat each other like utter trash. Here both parties still acknowledge the other's professional opinions and were able to put aside feelings to work towards their common goal.
The ending was a bit out there and strange but I've got no issues with it. I'll have to see what else Anne Renwick's steampunk world will offer with her other books.
