The best way to imagine the books in this series is to think of them as big, wide-screen, summer action blockbusters. About a steampunk version of the Avengers (the Emma Peel Avengers, mind you, not the repulsor rays and star-painted shield ones), and directed by Sam Raimi. Some people will look at that description and ask why, others will look at it and ask why not. If anything, this one was even more fun than its predecessor, as it could avoid all the niceties and introductions and get right into the two-fistedness.

Come to think of it, Ted Raimi would make an excellent Books.
