As for genre, it sounds like what I would term 'gaslamp fantasy' which is pretty much the fantasy version of steampunk.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-76124108929570455752013-03-11T14:15:20.436-05:002013-03-11T14:15:20.436-05:00I agree that after all of the exoticizing and maki...I agree that after all of the exoticizing and making much of their differences, the premise of their adventure is more than a little flimsy. I think it is deliberately vague and undefined, to leave room for the almighty sequel. (I shall look away, so you do not see my rolling eyes.) This one surprised me, too. I thought it would be ALL monkey-poo jokes, which I could not have borne.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-31130490371180548822013-03-10T17:22:00.408-05:002013-03-10T17:22:00.408-05:00The cover art for this one drew me in, and I'v...The cover art for this one drew me in, and I've been meaning to read it now that it's 'here' in the US. Glad to hear that you liked it more than you thought you would - I'm hoping it lives up to my expectations.Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-14979452437719742392013-03-10T07:15:26.619-05:002013-03-10T07:15:26.619-05:00Hmm, this sounds different, but not sure I'll ...Hmm, this sounds different, but not sure I'll read it. Kids would probably like some of the gross stuff, like the monkey boy. Thanks for the review.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.com
