Dead Iron by Devon Monk

5.0

Dead Iron is the first book in Devon Monk's Age of Steam series. It's the first Steam Punk book I've read and enjoyed. I'm very interested to see if all the ensemble cast makes it into the next book. The Madder brothers have employed Cedar Hunt (a werewolf) to look for the pieces of The Holder a device that has been corrupted for evil. I have to believe that Rose (who has a bit of the strange about her) and Cedar's brother Will (who is cursed to live as a dog) will be there. Surely Mae (who is a witch) will come along despite her grief. They are all good characters and I'm sure will just get better as the series goes along. This was a good first book for a series. Lots of action but not at the expense of character development.
