strangethyme 's review for:

Dreadnought by Cherie Priest
3.0

It's another one of those "the writing is really good but it kind of drags on" type of deals for me. I love Mercy, the protagonist, and always enjoy Cherie Priests Kick-ass Historically accurate take on steam-punk (a very cool traditional sci-fi/historical fiction take on the steampunk genre).
Despite all that, I feel it's almost too bogged down with the technical (I mean as in writing and research and structure, not the machines the book)that it was hard for me to feel wrapped up in the story.
