Sci Fi/Fantasy, VG/A (Very Good, Average Reading Level)
Cross, Kady. The Girl in the Steel Corset. Harlequin Teen, 2011. 336p. 978-0-373-21033-6. $17.99.
Robots! Cyborgs! Corsets! Scientists! Inventors! Awesome names like Finley Jane and Griffin King!
The lovely outfits, alluring language and steampunk Victoriana of
Kady Cross' action-packed debut YA novel are sure to please fans of Cassandra Clare or the Luxe series. The run up to the reveal is so full of whizz-bang gadgetry and fun, you can overlook the fact that the reveal itself is only so-so.
Highly recommended for those looking for a bit of edge in their light summer reads.
