The author's mode of weaving worlds together from the masculine and feminine perspective, technology included and not to power the person of the perspective, is mindblowing. Lovers of The Dresden Files will also recognize themes and tropes that make them want to read for hours. This first in series is the culmination of pure imagination and nerdishly romantic dreaming. Give it a try and you'll find it worth five stars and more.

Unbound Pages is a remarkable story about a young woman named Eudora on a quest to save an automata as well as solve the mystery of what really happened to a college professor. Using her natural abilities and sleuthing skills she moves forward despite the lack of clues and answers. A gripping story that had me turning page after page to find out what happens next! A must read for steampunk lovers!
