Dudes, I thought one of you might have reviewed this one. I read it and could not appreciate it. I had to come back here to see if I could get some insights to things that irked or confused me, but I think I’ll just have to chalk it up to a book not working for me! It’s too bad, I really, really wanted to love it. Gah, why can’t I love you, Clockwork Heart?

[...] but for some reason I had labelled it in my mind as not so intriguing until I read a review at the Book Smugglers blog (they gave it a 9 – “damn near perfection”). I put it on my books to read list at that [...]

Great review! I’ve requested this from the library so it looks like I’ll be reading my first steampunk. Looking forward to it.

Thea, I thought I’d let you know that Mistborn is not classified as Steampunk, but it definitely has that vibe.

And like Angie said, move Archangel up on your list. The writing is amazing.

Thea, you haven’t read Archangel yet? Oh, man, now I’m dying to know what you think of it. Bump that sucker up a little higher in the stack!

The cover had me taking a look, and I liked what I had read; with your great review, on the wishlist.

I’m heard the term steampunk before but I’ve gone blank (off to Wiki

Thank you so much Thea! The book sounds fascinating!

also, i’ve just about reached the point where i’ll read anything that doesn’t sport an anonymous manchest cover!

Wow – just wow. That was an amazing review that totally sucked me in. I really want to read this book and it’s not even near what I normally choose for myself.

And I must live under a rock because I’ve never heard of steampunk before.

Brie, I’m glad you liked this one too. It definitely had that unputdownable quality to it And I agree with you that there was a degree of predictability with this novel..but I found myself so caught up with the world and the characters, that I could overlook some of those debut novel kinks

I have Archangel on my TBR–I really should get around to reading the Samaria books. *blushes* I’ll bump it up in the queue! And I haven’t heard of Mistborn–thanks! Added to the shopping cart at amazon.

Ciara–thanks! Definitely give this one a read, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it. I haven’t seen Steamboy yet (although I did just win a copy :p ). Have you seen Howl’s Moving Castle? There are some steampunkish elements to that film–and it’s my second favorite anime movie ever I highly recommend it!

Angie–thank you for the heads up and recommendation I really loved this novel–especially the scene after they land I’m excited for the sequel!

Icedtea–I think Clockwork Heart is a fabulous place to start I hope you’ll enjoy this one! (And again, that cover art really is stunning. I’m a fan!)

I’ve heard the term steampunk, but haven’t ventured into trying anything yet – I’m adding this to my wishlist, thanks. The cover is great, I’d pick it up in a store to find out more on that factor alone.
