A Conspiracy of Alchemists by Liesel Schwarz

2.0

This book was fun, but not particularly well written, and extremely predictable. I mostly finished this book because the publisher sent it to me for free, but I just felt there were way too many plot points and that the love story seemed forced. The steampunk aspect of this book also seemed forced. There was pretty much one made up word for magnifying goggles and then some dirigibles and airship pirates and one early flying machine. The transition of this character from tough pants wearing rebel to damsel in distress was a little ridiculous. Not to mention the author makes a point of making her seem clever, and then she has some really ditzy moments.

This book wasn't horrible. There was just nothing that stood out to me as particularly good. I'm sure there are people who would find it entertaining.
