So I'm not the only one who liked <i>The Alchemy Stone</i> more than <i>The Secret History of Moscow</i>.<br /><br />I agree with Liviu that you have to try <i>Clockwork Heart</i> by Dru Pagliasotti. <br />My two cents in two sentences:<br />Two men, even brothers, struggle for one woman in a steampunk world including sleuth.<br />This isn't a fast pace story. But it contains action, romance and a good world building.ediFanoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129248787624088717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-13153551401237689432009-07-20T12:21:42.590+03:002009-07-20T12:21:42.590+03:00Barbara, thank you very much :)
