Well, a bit of a disappointment (·•᷄_•᷅ ).
The first 2 tales were 2star nonevents (｡•́︿•̀｡).
I expected more from the 3rd story, a 40pger by Cory Doctorow, 20pgs too long but did contain a satisfying case of "come uppance" & closed with a "happily ever after", 2.5stars.
A graphic novel for the 4th entry (っ- ‸ - ς), well, you know how I feel about gn's....a comic book by anyother name is still, well, not a rose...

This well crafted hardcover is very aesthetically pleasing but the stories are more punk than steam, as is apropos of a YA anthology.
My error, having judged the book solely by its cover, and the look/feel of the pages, before purchasing.

I saw this one is listed as YA. That doesn't have to be right, but it could have something to do with it.

Hopefully it will get better. If not you know what to do.. 😁
Thanks Hawk and Julia. I'll continue on for now, ever hopeful!
