Steamborn is competently written and I'm enjoying it for what it is, but the phrase that keeps coming to mind when I think about the book critically is 'Paint by Numbers.' It's functional, but the characters are generic and the only things to have gone wrong for the MC are the inciting incident and the mid-point twist. Everything else is handed to him, or someone comes along to rescue him.
