Did not finish book.
I should start by saying I have not read steampunk before. So I chose this thinking some short stories might be a good way to "get my feet wet".
The first story, Rude Mechanicals, was just okay. I really enjoyed (and wanted more of!) The Cannibal Fiend of Rotherhithe and Wild Magic. Deadwood was fun with a neat little twist. Code of Blood I couldn't keep my attention. I liked The Clockwork Corset, but just as I thought it was getting really good, it ended. And after The Airship Gemini, I decided to drop it.
