Corsets & Clockwork: 13 Steampunk Romances by Trisha Telep
4.0
A fairly good anthology.
Highlights included The Cannibal Fiend of Rotherhithe by [a: Frewin Jones|4431689|Allan Frewin Jones|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309647387p2/4431689.jpg]; that was just creepy and really cool.
Also Under Amber Skies by [a: Maria V Snyder|445303|Maria V. Snyder|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1224476079p2/445303.jpg] and Tick, Tick, Boom by [a: Kiersten White|3027554|Kiersten White|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1254205920p2/3027554.jpg]. Chickie Hill's Badass Ride I didn't really find very steampunky, more horror, but was a good story.
I didn't at all like The Vast Machinery Of Dreams by Caitlin Kittredge. It was trying to hard to be clever, (it kept saying stuff like no, this is what really happened) failed miserably, and ended up just being a skim-read confusing muddle.
I also didn't like the endings to the siamese twins one - The Airship Gemini - or King of the Greenlight City. However, the magic in Greenlight City was worth the read.
