A review by smitchy
Infernal Devices by K.W. Jeter

2.0

I picked this up because it is supposedly one of the first "steampunk" novels. Jeter apparently coined the phrase. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I have to admit I struggled to get through it. Jeter does a great job of creating a very authentic Victorian vibe right down to his stuffy & staid main character. I found the story itself frustrating - just as the main character does as he is sent on wild goose chases and chased from end of England to the other without an explanation as to WTF is going on in sight.
