Gunpowder Alchemy by Jeannie Lin

3.0

Interesting steampunk fantasy set in China. The beginning dragged a bit for me. I think because there's a lot of backstory and history to set up and Soling is fairly passive at this stage. She keeps getting kidnapped and taken places without any choice. It picks up around 50% and I was more interested in the plot and characters.
