A review by maryrobinette
The Nine by Tracy Townsend

4.0

This is a complex, thrilling political, heist novel that has steampunk that makes sense. So look, I love the aesthetic of steampunk, but it is frequently frustrating to me because people have gears without actually thinking about *why.*

The world of The Nine makes sense. Glorious, weird, wonderful sense.

The characters are vivid and alive and flawed. I am eager for the next book in the series.
