Perils of Sea and Sky by Lilian Horn
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
Maybe I was not the intended audience for this particular book or maybe my discomfort with the narrator trying to do accents and stammers for some characters was too intense. But I don't think I will be going forward with this one...
First of all, this book started with an "author's note" giving a general description of the world the story is set in. What? What happened to world building? Still, I decided to give it a chance, thinking maybe it's because thats what the story necessitated etc. But no.
After a couple of chapters nothing exciting was happening and the writing was lazy and repetitive. Also, apart from the ships that sailed the sky, nothing gave me that steampunk vibe. So I DNFed it.
