Steampunk is always a curious genre. The Brass
Giant was the beginning of a series called the Chroniker City Petra
is alone, Emmerich has been sent to France
and Petra is
fighting for recognition as an engineer and to prevent a war.
Petra Wade is fighting for a place in a male dominated
world. Even with equal rights,
statistically, even today the number of female engineers is far less than male
engineers. In Chroniker
City , Petra is fighting a severe uphill battle to
become a mechanical engineer. Braith is
a soldier set to guard Petra
and keep her from "sabotaging"
Julian's plans for war. Braith
becomes Petra 's
confident instead of guard and the two work together to stop a war.
The steampunk part is aptly included by the quadruped war
machine and the sailing ships that fly.
There is action, romance and a modicum of violence. There is also an underpinning theme of true
equal rights.
I highly recommend the book.
