Today’s team review is from Chris, she blogs at http://cphilippou123.wordpress.com
Chris has been reading The Dirigible King’s Daughter by Alys West
Action, adventure, sexism, and class issues all come together in this steampunk romance novel.
When Harriet, businesswoman and daughter of the disgraced ‘Dirigible King’, is accused of attempted murder, she reluctantly turns to an old friend, and current Viscount, for help. But old scandals, new obstacles, and a lover that won’t give up all add to her already tough existence. Will she be able to cope?
Despite it’s light tone and fun story, there is an undertone to this novel around the subject of prejudice in its many forms that was well-woven and thought-provoking. The story itself unfolded gently, and balanced action and romance in a believably steampunk setting. An enjoyable read.
