City of the Saints by D.J. Butler
4.0
Great steampunk action romp full of historical characters set into the Mormon Kingdom of Deseret. Characters were nicely fleshed-out, and I quickly found my favorites (dwarf Jed Coltrane and Irish hitman Tam O'Shaughnessy were top).
My only criticism would be that for people unfamiliar with Mormon history many connections fall flat. For me it took several hours of self-study on Wiki and TV documents to get familiar with about 15 names author threw at me in first 2-3 chapters and expected me to know who they were.
All in all, very enjoyable read.
