Borrowed from my local library.
An absolute adventure of a book! I was totally immersed and so intrigued by the unique world Frances Hardinge created; I've read a lot of fantasy, but I haven't ever encountered a world quite like this one. The characters went through their own internal battles to the backdrop of an epic undersea tale of dead gods, salvage crews and hidden secrets. I loved it and will definitely read more from the author.
