Steampunk Double Feature
Jul. 12th, 2025 01:57 pmI'm currently reading not one but two steampunk novels: Natasha Pulley's The Lost Future of Pepperharrow and Priest's Stars of Chaos (Sha Po Lang).
Steampunk is a genre that I want to like more than I do; in fact, the only steampunk novel I've read that I truly enjoyed enough to buy a copy is Pulley's The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. Here's hoping these two can be added to that very short list!

(Personally, I love seeing things people have customised to appear steampunk, like laptops or coffeemakers!) A little tougher to pull off in coherent novel form, I suppose.
