"Moses: The Chronicles of Harriet Tubman blends horror and steampunk to transport you to a world of wonder and illusion, and amazing inventions. It’s a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and creatures from hell rise and walk the earth." Summaries like this are what drew me into wanting to read this book. I found this book on BookBub.com and purchased it at a discounted price; after checking the ratings and reviews on Goodreads.com, I figured that reading this book would be worth it, but I was wrong. The book starts off fast and full of action; it started off with so much promise and then after the first few chapters, I was confused. I'm not sure why any of what was happening was happening. This book is part of a series, a series that I will not continue to waste my time on. I'm all for creative liberties in writing fictional books, but this was too much for me and I was not pleased.
