First Impression:
- I really enjoyed the cover of this book, love covers with the steampunk look.
- MG & Steampunk? Yes Please!
- Enjoyed the Writing flow right from the start, knew they were going to be characters I liked.
The Story & Characters:
- The story takes place in an apocalyptic future. I want to say very close to our time maybe a little further ahead. Loved all the references they would make about the “past”. They even messed up the meaning of some things which made it really funny.
- The Story is told in one POV Chess, I actually enjoyed all the kids in this book. I wanted more character development, but the world build was pretty good, I actually found it very interesting how the world was destroyed.
- The book has a LOT of information in the beginning and it seemed a little slow however the end makes up for it with it’s fast paced action. I am hoping the next books will have a lot more action in it since a lot of what was in this books was build and information.
- I really liked everything about this book and can’t wait to continue the adventure in the next book.
Final Thoughts:
- Overall I think this is a great book with a really great story. I loved the build of the world and the background of how the world is in ruins.
- I would recommend to MG and Adults. This has a lot of fun references and some parts make me laugh. I adored the kids and think this is the start of a great series.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my review.
Have a great day and Happy Reading!

I’m happy you enjoyed this, Michelle. I’m glad the pace picked up after the initial info dump and that the characters seem to be well done. I’ve not read much steam punk at all but this one is appealing. 🙂
That cover is definitely one that would get my attention and I don’t think I’ve seen a MG steampunk book before, sot hat sounds fun. I am glad the book grabbed you form the start and you knew it would be a good one. I didn’t realize this one takes place at the future, it does sound great how they make some hints to the past. That’s too bad ti was a bit slow at first, but it sounds like it makes up for that after that. Great review!
Yay! Glad to read that you enjoyed it! So it had humor too?
Yes it does, they have some rather funny moments. The kids are really cute.
Glad you enjoyed this one. It does sound quite fun!
Thanks, Ani! It was a really fun read!

Thank you Grace! It was a fun adventure! 🙂
