A review by thaydra
The Aylesford Skull by James P. Blaylock

2.0

I love the steampunk genre, but have never actually read it before. I really wanted to love this book, but I didn't. I found it very difficult to get through. I felt like there was no depth to any of the characters, and they seemed to have no emotion despite highly traumatic events. Even the villain felt flat. Maybe if I had read the previous books in the series I would have had more background to them and felt for them more.

This book IS readable without having read the others. I could follow along well enough. I just didn't care.
