Any Steampunk recommendations?
I have read The Steampunk Omnibus by Michael Coorlim, Steel Lily by Megan Curd and am currently reading The Steampunk Chronicles by Kady Cross.
What else is there?

Worth reading for the interesting milieu and alternate history.

I don't think there is particularly a great difference in plots or characters - no more than one would find in the larger over-arching genre of science-fiction.
Steam punk has its features. I like to think of the difference between a mechanical watch and a digital. Pull the back away from both and which one will give the more interesting and complex view?

The only steampunk-like book I've read that I'd actually recommend is The Rithmatist, which is set in a kind of clockpunk/steampunk world.

I started reading Boneshaker but didn't finish it. Reading a review of it on this forum has caused me to take it down from my steampunk shelf and start to read it again.

I second this reading selection. My younger sister is in to Steampunk and I thought I'd try the genre for three reasons: something new, werewolves and vampires, and adventure/mystery. I was not disappointed but then again I don't have other books to compare it to as of now.voraciousreader wrote:Check out Gail Carringer's series The Parasol Protectorate. Then there always the father of steampunk, Terry Pratchett.

Languages never spoken.
Colors that should not be.
Lives never opened.
Eyes that never see.
And then the page is turned, a universe created.
We are gods.
