This was an enormous amount of fun to read. Think of all the best bits of adventure and mystery tales under a steampunk heist umbrella with a sprinkling of zombie threat in the mix. While each individual 'chapter' is an enclosed story and can be read separately, the order of the stories are well chosen and contribute to a better understanding of the whole. I especially like that the first story's main character is not the protagonist of the whole collection, giving an outsider's perspective of the Captain that the reader comes to appreciate as we get to know her.
