I did not know this was a trilogy, so I started with this book. I loved it! It is a great mixture of action, adventure, mistery and SF. I think grownups should rediscover the beauty of childhood adeventures. I love the fact that the authors picked a girl and a boy as main characters, so each sides have something to enjoy end someone to indentify with.

An exciting, thrill-packed steampunk adventure story. It's fast-paced with great characters and plenty of plot twists. This is the second book in the series. As I hadn't read the first book in the series, Cogheart, I thought it might mean that this book was less enjoyable, however, this book can be read on it's is own no problem. In fact, it certainly made me eager to go back and read the first book. Definitely recommended.
