I found Boneshaker to be an entertaining read, Cherie Priest tells a good story. Unfortunately, I found the teenage boy annoying and the chapters that focused on him disappointing, which leads me to believe that I’m not her target audience. I do like the alternate-history setting with the steampunk flavor she’s created and termed “The Clockwork Century“. Depending on the amount of involvement of teenage protagonists, I’m looking forward to further adventures in her world.
I also enjoyed Jon Foster’s cover art, kudos to tor.com for releasing free wallpaper downloads.
