Beautifully written and moving submitted by Jinxyluis on July 24, 2018, 8:43am This book was so interesting, and though it was slow moving I came to care greatly for the large cast of characters.
Alt-history Steampunk With a Diverse Cast submitted by majean on August 16, 2019, 11:08am I love the diversity of the characters - age, culture, sexuality. The narrative is spread across months and years, which I can imagine some people would find hard to get into, but it's interesting to see how the characters and the country of Everfair change over time. A must-read for steampunk aficionados. Fun Fact: Nisi Shawl is from Michigan and attended UM!
