A lot of Sex interrupted by a story
Average. Theory was interesting, tracking down collection of mysterious objects. The big picture steampunk world was better than average, but character development was a little off — author maybe just trying too hard to make a point with the attributes and motivations of the heroine and not getting there in a logical way and inserting the romance. Would lend, but not recommend.
