A Conspiracy of Alchemists by Liesel Schwarz
3.0
Just fun. It's a little uneven, parts drag, the romance is a bit predictable, but it was a joy. The world is a fascinating mix of fantasy and steampunk, with dirigibles and fairies, gyrocopters and vampires. It came alive for me. I could picture the monks lighting the lamps with the prostitutes on the corner, the passengers on the Orient Express in all their finery. In this world, Light and Shadow form a kind of shaky balance and I thought it seemed appropriate that as science advanced, the Shadow lost some of its power.
