The whole series is excellent historical fiction!

I'm not sure how anyone could give this a bad review, but there's no accounting for taste I guess!
All the books in the series are wonderful & can appeal to ppl who enjoy a variety of different genres. I've never been in to Steampunk but this has touches of that- what I really loved was the historical characters.
Just check it out & decide for yourself. If you can't get in to it, then the rest of the series isn't for you!
How did this get published?

This is simply badly written. Do not waste your money. An example, you ask? Bad dialogue, bad descriptions, and unbelievable situations. Not fantastic situations, I like those, but I’m expected to believe that a man with a javelin THROUGH HIS FACE, can use sign language and write words in the dirt? No. This book is ludicrous.
