The Emilie Adventures by Martha Wells offers two novel-length YA steampunk adventures that delivered adventures below the sea and above as young Emilie, a stowaway, embarks on an epic adventure. You won’t want to miss these daring adventures with our young hero!
By Hook & Crook by S. G. Karam is the first audiobook in the Kings of Copper Trilogy narrated by Luke Daniels. An action-packed gaslamp fantasy where heists are sanctioned, Lars Hallow and his team must save the city. A fresh start to an engrossing tale, you’ll want to travel to Azoria and help them uncover the diabolical conspiracy.
The Golden Spider by Anne Renwick is a romantic steampunk filled with mystery, murder and a hero and heroine you’ll root for.
The Watchmaker’s Heart by Juli D. Revezzo delivered a historical romance with steampunk elements and a nice bit of suspenseful mystery. Penelope “Phoebe” Lockswell is a bit of a tinkerer and has created a somewhat scandalous diffuser. I enjoyed this feisty heroine, and Revezzo quickly pulled me into this tale.
The Clockwork Samurai by Jeannie Lin is the second book in the Gunpowder Chronicles set against the backdrop of China’s Qing Dynasty. This alternate steampunk historical is a delightful read, with fleshed out characters and incredible world-building.
Are you looking for a steampunk fantasy adventure? Snag a copy of The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher the first book in the The Cinder Spires series. Have you ever read a book that you deliberately tried to savor? The Aeronaut’s Windlass was such a book for me. As soon as I slipped into the world, I knew I wanted to stay awhile. I limited myself to fifty to seventy-five pages a day. (sometimes a few more to end a chapter) At almost 600 pages, it gave me an adventure I could look forward to every evening.
