A review by sheltzer
A Conspiracy of Alchemists by Liesel Schwarz

3.0

This book is not what I expected it to be. I don't know that I would call it a Steampunk novel because it is more of a romance than anything else. In fact, I wish there were more World-building in the book. I enjoyed watching the romance unfold between Elle and Marsh and it was certainly entertaining to have them cross Europe. I wish the narrative had injected more of the differing flavors between England, Paris and Constantinople, but on the whole I liked the characters and the story. I will read the second book in the series.
