An Airship Named Desire by Katherine McIntyre
3.0
This was basically all right, but not overly satisfying. As action packed as it was, it tended toward simplistic solutions to problems. For example, the time the crew managed to guess the three-digit combination to a box they knew nothing about (on the first try even). Hell, half the time I can't even figure out my own locker combination, let alone a combination set by an unknown person, for an unknown purpose. So, yeah, sometimes things worked out a little too easily, but it was also a fun romp.
However, all that action comes at a price. This book starts with it and it never abates. And while that's exciting it leaves no time to slow down and get to know the characters or the world. I really felt this lack of depth. I also thought it was a bit predictable and the open ending (not a cliffhanger per se, but not all questions answered) chaffed a bit.
All in all, if you're looking for some airship fluff that doesn't require much mental participation this will do the trick. It's a fun but shallow read.
