Boneshaker (The Clockwork Century, #1)

Well, I like the world building. The walled city with the rotters, the airships, the guys flying them... and I have a beautiful paperback, large size, great cover, with maroon coloured lettering.
But the execution of the story was just not very interesting. I did not enjoy the writing, the story lacked tension for me.
I skimmed a lot, to see where the plot takes me. And I liked the ending and the resolution of how it all came to pass, who did what and who was to blame. I liked some of the characters, for example Cly. But mostly they stayed flat and not very likeable.
I am glad I made it to the end. It is very unlikely I will pick up the next book in this series.

Well the next one has diesel-powered civil war era mech combat and battle trains.

Battle trains... makes me think of the last Mad Max movie....
Your opinion is pretty consistent with most of my friends but I still can't help but want to read it anyway!
I have also seen a bunch of 5 star reviews. Always makes me wonder if the fault lies with me. Go ahead, read it... you might love it! I'll be following your updates. There is a buddy read thread as well that needs some love...
