Mebbe the occasional gutter rat looking up and being able to stag a star or two to teach him how to dream. Prosperity page 210.
Oh. My. GOD.
This book.
This book is amazing.
It’s a steampunky adventure centered around Piccadilly, a card sharp who literally falls into a whole new world when, after being shot by the crime lord with no conscience - Milord - tumbles down and finds himself on the Shadowless - an aethership captained by the genderless Byron Kae. Piccadilly finds himself surrounded by a colorful cast of characters - Miss Grey, the woman haunted by tentacle monsters from beyond time, Ruben the ex-preacher who looks for the good in everyone, and the aforementioned Milord.
Are you a fan of Firefly? Because there’s kind of a Firefly feel to this ragtag group. But as much as I love Firefly, I’d rather see a tv show of this. Seriously. This book is beautiful. Wonderful world building, wonderful characters, just all around a great read.
