A review by jmmoore2003
Escapement by Ciara Knight

4.0

This first book of the Neumarian Chronicles leads the reader into a steampunk world unlike any other I've experienced in a YA novel. It's fascinating to delve deeper into the layers of the society that were touched upon in the prequel Weighted. Incidentally, the prequel does not have to be read first, but it definitely helped - I can see how Ciara's writing style developed from her first novel to when she wrote Weighted, and that kept me going when the pace seemed a bit slower in the early chapters of Escapement.

I look forward to the excitement of the second book in this trilogy, which I will be diving into headfirst tomorrow!
