Update 12/20: OMG THIS COVER IS AWESOME! I like that it's not the same model as the previous cover (who looked a whole heck of a lot like Megan Fox!). Can't wait to read this book!!ReviewSimilar Books: Soulless by Gail Carriger, Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn DolamoreI enjoyed Kady Cross's YA debut The Girl in the Steel Corset last year, so I was excited to get the sequel from NetGalley. And while most sequels tend to not be as good as the original book, I thinkRead This Review & More Like It On My Blog!I did it: I finished this loooooong, dry book full of flat characters, endless repetition and tons of of the hated "showing not telling" way of expanding the history. Though my experience with round two of this "straynge band of mysfits" was sliiiightly better than with its predecessor The Girl in the Steel Corset, I want to express this loudly and clearly: This series is not a good example of steampunk. Also, why I am just griping: whyyy the
A bit of a disappointment compared to the first book, but still highly entertaining. I liked the new setting and the new characters and for a long time I thought that it would be a 4.5-5 star book, but then it got closer to the end and... well, to be honest, the ending felt very rushed. (view spoiler)[It could have been executed a lot better and the climax of the book could have been written to be much more complex and difficult for the heroes to fix. Now everything was crammed together in one
4.5 starsAfter reading The Girl in the Steel Corset, I became an instant fan of Kady Cross writing, so I was thrilled to see the sequel on Netgalley.The Girl in the Clockwork Collar is even better!!First off, I adore the way Cross writes! This is the stuff that makes historical fun and addicting. It's crisp, clever and cunning and I enjoyed every word. The story-line moves over to New York, where Finley, Griffin, Sam and Emily go to try to help out their friend Jasper who's been accused of
This is the second book in the series and very explosive!!!And they travel to the continental US to solve another murder and come into the brink of a deadly project. I really loved the plot. Fulfilling and exciting, each chapter leads to new people, new missions, and new betrayals. I loved that the plot is always moving. The reader learns more about the characters of Griffin, Finley and the others past. The friendship also blooms beautifully before the readers eyes.The love interest is

First of all, I'm not a huge fan of the whole steampunk genre. I just don't get it. The obsession with Aether and mechanical things and dirigibles? Does nothing for me. However, as many of my reader-friends have informed me, I'm clearly out of my mind. So bear that in mind when you see that this was only a 2-star book.Second, if this book hadn't been a steampunk book, it still would have only gotten 3-3.5 stars. Why? Because the plot just didn't work for me. For example, Griffin is only 18? That
