The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross was my second ever steampunk book. I wasn't sure about buying it, as the blurb on the back on my copy of the book was not the above and was very vague. I bought the book based on the fact that it was steampunk :P

The characters throughout the story were very strong, I like strong and complicated characters, it makes them more interesting and relatable. I enjoyed reading from everyone perspective and that the story wasn't just about Finley and Griffin, it was also about Sam and Emily and Jasper and Jack.
Finley is a very strong female lead, something I also enjoy very much. She is strong and independent and always sticks up for herself.

This book is sort of like X-men meets Batman meets Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde set in the 1800's. X-men because of the powers, Batman because Griffin is out for revenge on the people who killed his parents and trying to rid the world of evil, and Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde because of the very interesting Finley Jayne. So if that sounds like your cup of tea then you should definitely go and pick it up :)
