Crucible Zero by Devon Monk

Huh. Well that was weird. But it was 3rd and probably final in a series that had been weird. And by weird I also mean kind of original. Basically a mashup with apocalyptic and steampunk and zombies and time-travel and westerns. And that really doesn't capture it. In this one, our hero Matilda has come back from the past and lots of stuff has been changed. And everyone hates this one guy including her, but we are really never shown why the people of now hate him. And it's all about her setting the right now in place. The characters and situations never quite make sense and most of the world isn't quite detailed enough. So it's kind of a near-miss. But a pretty good near-miss. 3.5 of 5.
