Mainspring by Jay Lake

This book took a little bit to get into, partly because the science fiction universe it was set in was very strange. It wasn't totally different than reality but was a blend of Victorian history (set in a British colonial America) with a mechanistic (literally) divinity. Once I got into it, the story was interesting although I didn't empathize with the main character all that much.

I mostly wanted to know how it ended, and I think that's why I continued reading it.
