melindavan 's review for:
The Peculiar Pets of Miss Pleasance
by Delilah S. Dawson
What a fascinating blend of Steampunk and Fantasy! I loved this...the prim and proper London with Steampunk elements, and daimons. A world where kittens and puppies are worth tons of money and adopted by the rich because everybody else gets mechanical pets. I only had one complaint...the story ended way too fast. It's a novella, not a full novel, and I wasn't ready to leave the world! But lucky for me there are more books by this author to read.
My only other thought was sometimes the characters use language that doesn't fit the era. I didn't like that, because every time it threw me out of the story world for a minute. It was sort of like watching A Knights Tale....the dance scene where they are dancing the old style but with modern music. Odd...but not enough to make me put it down, that's for sure. Oh, and if you're looking for a wonderfully seductive love scene, look no further.
