Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Mystery in carnival. Lots of talk and thoughts of gaudy clothes and other girl talk. Could not care about going ons. Not my kind of novel i think. ( ) This is a genre that has slowly picked up steam but I think it could use more of a spotlight. There is something fascinating about this genre. It is so multi-faceted. It can do in many different directions like the author took with this book. However I could not help but compare this book some to another author's steampunk carnival series that I like called "Blud" series by Delilah S. Dawson. Which Ms. Dawson really brings to life the carnival life while incorporating the steampunk aspect. So I was looking for this while reading this book. I got the carnie life but it could have been any type of carnival. Although the author did add some aspects of steampunk and it was brought forth more towards the half way point of the story and forward. Katya is a strong female lead. I like that she held the story all the way from the beginning to the end. The mystery surrounding the carnival and the threats was nicely down. It kept my interest yet, I wished that the suspense was cranked up on the volume dial a little more. Overall, this is a good book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Steam World (book 1)
Katya Romanova gave up everything to work at the one-of-a-kind Steampunk Carnival - her family, her home, her reputation. She wouldn't want to be anywhere else. As a guide to the guests, Katya enjoys more freedom than most. She makes time to gossip with her best friend, Magdalene. She basks in the elaborate costumes that bring her awed attention, hoping they might also win her a husband. And no man pays her more attention than her boss and carnival owner, William Warden.But in the summer of 1887, death threats against Mr. Warden break the spell. Katya knows he might be as underhanded as he is charming, but who would actually want him dead? When Katya finds unexpected evidence about the carnival's true origins, the stakes jump even higher. Not sure whom they can trust, Katya and Magdalene work to unravel the carnival's mysteries. Who really invented the innovative rides? Is Mr. Warden protecting his employees or only himself from the looming violence? And will Katya cling to the better side of his nature or eventually turn her affections for him into a powerful rivalry? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
