Dreadnought by Cherie Priest

4.0

---

I enjoyed Dreadnought much more than the previous two books in the Clockwork Century series. This books seems to have better flow, plot, and character development. The book has a steampunk gun-slinging/western feel to it. I enjoy Priest's alternate history, which stretches the American Civil war to over 20 years and includes steampunk war trains and machinery. At times the book felt more grounded in a description of a never ending journey than in real instances of plot.
