OZ:
I am excited about this new series. I love the idea of steam punk but, like many here, I have not found any that I thought was excellent. Most that I have read gets too heavy handed (for me) with their social commentary rather than concentrating on telling a good story first. I am really looking forward to seeing what Jim does. I would second Ulfgeir's recommendations as two of the better steam punk stories that I have read.

There's a guy who lives near me with two (so far), I think self published, steam punk novels. His name is Chris Braak, check out his web site (I'll link later) they're pretty good.

I have attempted to get into it before but each time that I do I find something horribly written (books, comics, tv) and then start to hate it again. I am hoping that all of you can steer me in the right direction.

Has anyone else read "Whitechapel Gods" by S.M. Peters? I haven't read any steampunk books and read this one without knowing that it was specifically in that genre. I thought it was pretty interesting - worth reading. (Its hard to recommend books with Jim Butcher as the background standard to meet.) It is not a series though; its just the one book.

Anything new from Jim gets me excited. I guess I'll see how I like steampunk now. Only real exposure I have is a couple of anime features.

You wouldn't have. I only know of him because our mothers were in a knitting group together.

I didn't think I liked Urban Fantasy either until I found Jim's books. SInce I love the Alera series too, I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that I will enjoy this series as well.
Plus, there are talking cats. I'm still stuck on that. Yippee!
