Boneshaker (The Clockwork Century, #1)

An excellent and tremendously well written book. This was the fourth Steampunk book I've read and definitely one of the best and like others did not disappoint. It wasn't what I was expecting but that's not a bad thing as it was engaging and well thought out. The plot was detailed and had so many branches but everything was explained leaving me as a reader in awe but also satisfied.
The characters all had their own identities which I've come to notice is a necessity in Steampunk books and this book was no exception. Briar and Zeke Wilkes are characters you find yourself pulling for hoping they get everything they want. Other characters are just as deserving and I found them likeable as well. This book was certainly a Steampunk dystopia or utopia depending on your view of the world within its pages.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author Cherie Priest is a great writer and has quite the imagination. I look forward to reading other Steampunk books as well as the others in this steam-filled series. If you enjoy the genre, like dramatic and deeply adventurous books then I highly recommend you read Boneshaker.
