If you have ever asked yourself, how would an ocean look in the steampunk world, you came to the right place. Even if you have never even thought about this question, you will still get an answer here. So jump on the train (whichever kind you prefer - pirate, hunter, with sails, manpowered, horsepowered, any other) & go on adventure, hunting the giant cream (not yellow!) moldywarpe, or mole from medieval English, & uncovering the location of the Heaven, where tears are endless & money unborn. Just be careful to not slip from the rails on the ground, otherwise you can choose from a range of very gruesome deaths by various bloodthirsty creatures living under the surface. Be prepared to exclaim "I see what you did there", when you hear about captains with lost limbs & crews singing "What shall we do with a drunken railman". Enjoy the massive world of which you will catch just the glimpse, but even that will be enough of a cultural shock & need to explore wil get bigger with every chapter.

100 out of 10, definetly recommend, best book by the author & perhaps in my whole life.
