Ulfgeir - about this book, one of the reviewers on Amazon mentions something awful. (click to show/hide)One of the main characters participates in child rape Is that really true or is it one of those "I'll make up stuff so people won't buy this book" things? I can handle anything, but that is one concept I can't handle. :(

I've read that book and have no recollection of that AT ALL. If it happens it's NOT on screen and not one of the 2 leads. One has had some bad things happen to them, but I don't recall it being precisely THAT. I may have a faulty recollection, but something like that tends to stick out to me.
OZ:
I'm with whingnut Spot. I have very strong feelings about this and I certainly don't remember anything like that from the book.
I read the first book in the series that you recommended Fox. I liked it. I don't know if some of the elements will work well in a series (click to show/hide)the main character's disease will, I think, grow tiresome after a few books if something isn't done about it. but I enjoyed the first story. I will buy the second. I understand that the third has been delayed by real life.
--- Quote ---For those wanting steampunk recommendations, I've highly enjoyed Devon Monk's AGE OF STEAM series—a mashup of steampunk, fantasy (magic and werewolves and the like), and western. The first book is titled DEAD IRON, and it's a blast. I've also enjoyed Chris Wooding's RETRIBUTION FALLS.

I bought Retribution Falls. My daughter snagged it to read when I got it home and I never got around to reading it. I will have to find it and try it out.
