Steampunk isn't a favorite genre for me - I don't dislike it, but I have no great draw towards it, either - so while this wasn't bad, it didn't wow me. Unsurprisingly, the standout story was Seanan McGuire's; I'm glad it was placed last, so as to end the anthology on a high note.

Only read '“Of War and Wings” by Tansy Rayner Roberts' so far because TANSY~ Hope to have time to come back and read the rest of the anthology sometime soon.

Interesting change of perspective and fresh approach to colonization.

The theme is excellent! Alien invasions in a steampunk setting. I enjoyed most of the stories, and a few standouts made this an excellent anthology. My hands down favorite was Of War and Wings by Tansy Rayner Roberts, more of a mood piece than a story, but such a beautiful and haunting tribute to the theme. Other favorites were Lady Antheia's Guide to Horticultural Warfare by Seanan McGuire and The Wizard of Woodrow Park by Jean Marie Ward.

There were a couple of stories in this anthology that I really enjoyed, but I found most of them disappointing, sadly.

Uneven like many anthologies. There are some awesome stories in here though and more than enough fantastic female protagonists. I backed the Kickstarter and am already looking forward to the next book from these editors.
