Now, to be honest with you I am not sure what the genre sub-category 
Steampunk is but I can tell you I found I enjoyed this book, though it 
was not my favorite. There were twist and turns that I didn't 
anticipate; culprits that were right under your nose and you didn't even
 know it. The cover compliments the story quite well but I will admit 
that the title wasn't as catching as the cover itself was. I have not 
read Lisa Mantchev's previous series Theatre Illuminata so I can't 
compare it to them but I can compare it to one of my favorite series The
 Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. This book had a lot of similarities 
to The Lunar Chronicles, minus the fairy tale theme, that I can see fans
 of Marissa Meyer enjoying this book.
