I don't know if I would have continued the series if I'd read the books in order. It's not my favorite either. But yes for me, the romance in this one trumps everything else.

If you enjoy that sub-genre, you'll love these. But, I know that even some readers who haven't enjoyed steampunk romances in the past have enjoyed these a lot. I'm a Meljean Brook fan, so yeah... to me this is a "must try" author.

I definitely recommend that you at leas...Hi Brie! <br /><br />I definitely recommend that you at least read The Iron Duke, Brie. That is where the worldbuilding is really explained in detail. Plus, that is a fantastic book in my opinion. :D As a plus, you should read Here There Be Monsters because it is a wonderful romance, plus it is the novella that Brook used to introduce this series. I don't really think that Heart of Steel, #2 is a necessary read to continue the series, although that will be up to you, of course. :D <br />Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-67938144083385160752012-09-13T17:29:35.199-04:002012-09-13T17:29:35.199-04:00Negine, Brook is quite deft at social sci fi, at l...Negine, Brook is quite deft at social sci fi, at least that was so in The Iron Duke and I think she did an excellent job of it in Riveted too, although here it will be much more obvious to most readers in my opinion because of the issue she addresses. <br /><br />RE: The villain. So I was not the only one who had to re-read that part? LOL! <br /><br />Although I have not yet reviewed them, I've read everything in this series except for the novellas "Mina Wentworth & The Invisible City" and "Tethered." I will be reading both of them soon! I'm in a Meljean Brook reading mood. ;P Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-82055070685311766382012-09-13T17:21:13.936-04:002012-09-13T17:21:13.936-04:00Tracy, I think you'll love it, particularly si...Tracy, I think you'll love it, particularly since you've enjoyed the other books. :) Enjoy!

And unlike me you articulate them so wonderfully :) I love that you categorized this series as "social science fiction", SO apt for the type of characters and situations Meljean Brook writes. <br /><br />The villain's..um demise? was completely anticlimactic , so much so that I wasn't sure what happened to him! in fact I had to go back and reread that section. Lol.<br /><br />I concur with you on "The Iron Duke" and "Here There Be Monsters" (need to reread this one, loved it so much)...They are still my favorites in this series to date ;)<br /><br />Have you read the "Mina Wentworth & The Invisible City" novella? I thought it was a great "epilogue" so to speak for "The Iron Duke"<br /><br />As always fabulous review!Neginehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585061686668685500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-49163400417970035342012-09-13T15:47:04.812-04:002012-09-13T15:47:04.812-04:00I've got this one and can't wait to read i...I've got this one and can't wait to read it!
