The Bullet-Catcher's Daughter by Rod Duncan
3.0
This book was interesting for a few reasons. The steampunk elements were always compelling, and I loved the epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter. I was very interested in all of Elizabeth's ways of evading people and the different arms of the law, and I was really interested in how she used people's underestimation of her against them again and again.
The pace at the beginning felt very choppy to me, and I'm not sure why the chapters were so short. Since it was the beginning of this new world, I wanted and expected more deep dives into situations or characters, but it felt like the pace settled into a groove I was happy with after the first 5 chapters or so.
Everything considered, it was a good, enjoyable read, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to read the next book to see where Elizabeth's life leads her next.
