I like both steampunk and sci-fi genres so finding them woven together in this book was a fun and entertaining surprise. The initial 10 chapters made the FMC, Diana, empathetic and actually someone to be in awe of for her prodigious mathematical skills. After events in that part of the story I was really caught up in the new direction and enjoyed her empowerment.

I liked the supporting characters for a mix of traits - their toughness, kindness, lack of bias and resolution. The story was a wonderfully paced adventure with superb worldbuilding and a clever combination of styles.

Enjoyed it!
