sashaknits 's review for:
This book appeared on the lending shelf at work late last year. I recognised a couple of the authors and I love a good short story, so it's been on my desk ever since as occasional lunch break reading.
Most of the stories relied quite heavily on steampunk technology to drive the plot; from time travel, to fortune telling, to a literal ghost in the machine, to an automaton madly in love, and more - but they were all still really different to each other in approach and tone that it didn't make the collection predictable or boring. There was even a couple of comics which was a pleasant surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed them all, every story was compelling and I always regretted when lunch time was over! Most of the stories were short enough to finish in one sitting, which was very convenient.
If you enjoy short stories and aren't opposed to a strong steampunk theme in your fantasy fiction, definitely check it out.
