ferrumage's review against another edition

roughly 19th century social mores england + high-tech nanobots wielded by invading force known as "the horde"
me, naive: oooh INVADING ALIEN BUGS
book: no, we meant the golden horde. we have embraced the yellow peril trope in both its steampunk and cyberpunk iterations and then FUSED THEM TOGETHER.
me, grossed out: THIS is the hill you want to die on? really?

All that, plus a male romantic love interest who's throwing off all KINDS of boundary-crossing red flags the minute he shows up on the page. Your kink is not my kink and that's okay, but I was very, very done.
