![]() ![]() But Westie isn't the only orphan that Nigel took in, there is also Alistair, who also had a run-in with cannibals. I believe this is where I felt the steampunk bit came into the story. Well, he saved it by giving her a mechanical/robotic arm. She was found by one of the native tribes, who took her to a man in town, Nigel Butler, who was able to save her arm. Not only did they take her family, they also took her arm. Westie lost her family to cannibals when she was little. All in all it was a good book, and I really enjoyed it, can't wait to bring it to my students at school to read! ![]() This was really quite an original story, can't quite compare most of it to anything I can think of. And while I'm not normally a fan of steampunk, the way it was done in this story, well it just fit perfectly for the whole tale. In the end I'd kind of classify this as a bit of a steampunk type of story, as well as western and fantasy. First, thanks to Edelweiss and Balzer and Bray for allowing me to read an egalley of this one. ![]()
