A short but thrilling steampunk adventure

A short thrilling adventure full of mystery. I highly recommend this prequel but unfortunately the same brilliance didn't go on into the next installment of this series.

The story starts up a little slow but suddenly things start happening, and a real adventure starts. It felt like at about the same time the characters came alive as well. Although the first chapters weren't all that promising, I ended up enjoying this thoroughly.
The Drifting Isle Chronicles is a shared steampunk world, where multiple authors have written their books. This was my first encounter, and I'm looking forward to reading the others as well!

Edukiari buruzko abisua Generic statement about the ending.
The short prequel "The Strange Case of Finley Jayne" was an exiting steampunk adventure, but unfortunately this didn't live up to the expectations.
Too much teenage love stories and superpowers.
The ending was quite dull too.

(Mostly) brilliant surrealism

These are some great surrealistic stories.
"Blood drive" is my all time favorite short story. It has a beautiful touch of philosophy.

Adventure of random encounters
2 izar
The concept of humanity taking refuge in a metro in a post nuclear war world is truly interesting. However the story built into it was medicore at best. More or less random "plot twists".

Good book but notes are poorly linked
4 izar
The content is great but the notes are linked poorly (at least in the Kindle version). In the end there are plethora of helpful notes explaining ancient things, but they are only linked backwards. I.e. not from text to footnotes but from notes to text, making their discovery hard.
