    For some stupid reason I felt like they would make it to China in this book but they don’t. The first half of this book had quite a bit of action but it just felt like it dragged on

    I found The Impossible Cube to have a nice mix of characters, settings, and story. The motivations for the characters may not always be the best, but each of the characters firmly believes in them, and that spills over into the "believeability" factor for me. That factor is also carried further by the flexibility of the characters and by that I mean that, while there are "good" and "bad" characters, they are, over all, characters with both good and bad sides to them.

  • Genre Go Round Reviews | 29 Mar 2012

    The second Clockwork Empire steampunk alternate historical is an exciting adventure thriller that starts off with action and never slows down until a confrontation in the Ukraine. Fast-paced, readers will enjoy the escapes of the Bostonian and the lady as she is apt to rescue him even more than he does her.

    This novel is more episodic than The Doomsday Vault, but the focus on the characters and relationships helps. As travelers flee, some die. Most readers will look forward to the third volume of the Clockwork Empire

  • Paranormal Haven | 4 Jun 2012

    As much as I like the story it suffers from the same character distance as the first novel. I think this would be an excellent all around book if I felt more of a connection to the characters.
