I may use <i>The Iron Duke</i> as my introduction.<br /><br />And I'm just plain big on series, period, so I'd be all over a series that arcs a couple over more than one book. Lots of series do this with the secondary characters--continuing characters through the book, but you can't ever make them a major force in the first book, or it won't be allowed to have "romance" on the spine, and that's important to me because that's the heart of what I love. <br /><br />Ah well. *heavy sigh* Genres do seem to be shifting and bending, so I guess we'll see what they morph into.Cassondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420982030156788059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-58591216349199069682011-09-26T18:17:10.988-04:002011-09-26T18:17:10.988-04:00Sorry, Nancy, that was my bad syntax.

The only other book that seems to be designated as SP that I've read is the Percy Parker book. They've got airships and steam technology powering some cool gizmos and the baddies definitely have access to some diabolical steam machinery. So I think it probably is considered Steampunk. I'm definitely going to read the rest of the series.

Can't say that I'm a big BOOM girl but I'm not opposed to it - I just don't seek it out. I have the Iron Duke here on the TBR pile.
