The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress

“And then there was an explosion.” Any book that introduces all three of its main characters using that line is sure to pack a punch and this book definitely packed some punches: figuratively and literally.
Overall, the book was enjoyable. The murder mystery kept me guessing, the steampunk bits had me wishing for illustrations, the main characters had lots of spunk & depth, and the resolution was satisfying. I was disappointed with the at the end as it seemed unnecessary to me and it felt forced rather than flowing naturally from the story.
Will I read the sequel? (As far as I know a sequel hasn't been announced but the ending left open the possibility.) Probably as I really liked Cora, Nellie & Michiko … but if those resurface, I will be sorely disappointed.
