I generally love Katie MacAlisters books. I loved the premise of this book, the characters , and the romance. However, I didnt love this book. I thoroughly did not enjoy it at all. And I was forewarned but it was in my TBR pile and I picked it up and tried it anyway. I didnt like how it was told from first person POV, first from Jack and then from Octavia. I was constantly going back to the chapters beginning to figure out who was speaking. Very jarring. I never for a minute got lost in the story and forgot I was reading a book, which for me is the whole pleasure of reading. The secondary characters were just blah. True this was the first Steam-punk Id read but I was really looking forward to this new genre. It didnt completely turn me against this genre but definitely has me backing away from it.
