An Airship Named Desire by Katherine McIntyre
4.0
An Airship Named Desire is a fast-paced dose of steampunk pulp fiction. Most steampunk fans should eat this up.
Basically, it’s a “thieves unwittingly steal” (insert the name and properties of the MacGuffin) story. Having said that, I really enjoyed it.
The characters were nicely fleshed out and interesting. The action really made the book and had me hooked from the start.
One the downside, I didn’t like the overuse of “I”.
I inhaled the lusterless air…
I ran a hand over my pistol…
I slowly lifted…
I dropped my pack…
I wiped my clammy palms…
Despite my minor quibbles with the book, it’s an entertaining read for those of us who enjoy steampunk. McIntyre is a fine story-teller. I highly recommend An Airship Named Desire and give it a solid 4 stars out of 5. It’s a great bang for your steampunk buck!
