Overall I thought this was good, if a little too long. The world building was great. I love steampunk books. I thought the engine and the machines (especially at the house) were really inventive and excellent. I really dislike stories of fairies, however, so that took the fun out of the book for me.
Also, I didn't feel the character of Dean, who is obviously a James Dean clone, really fit in the time period-it bothered me enough to keep pulling me out of the story.
I liked it enough to look forward to the next book in the series.
Also, a warning, with all of the techno-speak and very little explanation, this is NOT a light read.
