Clementine by Cherie Priest

4.0

This short story, although at 300+ pages it is not that short, is the continuing adventures in Cherie Priest's "Clockwork Century" It takes place between Boneshaker and Dreadnought in the chronology of the series.

Oh does Ms. Priest know her way around a steampunk novel. In this story we are introduced to Maria "Belle" Boyd, another in the long list of strong female characters who inhabit this world. Alas no zombies in this one, but instead a good old fashioned pirates tale of gun battles aboard ships. Did I mention they were air ships? I am looking forward to Fiddlehead the final installment in the series where Miss Boyd makes another appearance.
