I'm happy that you did.
There were a few things I didn't particularly like, but on the whole it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile read.
I didn't like how he employed extra PoVs at times to try to build tension and suspense. It is a technique that most often falls flat with me.
That sounds an awful lot like some of my issues- specifically that whole Night of something or the other that he was setting up in the compound when he kept rapidly shifting PoVs, combined with the dreams. It really took me out of the flow he had created up to that point. Though I will concede that it partially acted as a natural break in the story before the next part began.

I'm so tired of apocalypse/post-Apocalypse, Steampunk, vampires, and zombies in fiction.

Well, I tend to agree with you in part. I disagree with you too.

I'm not tired of steampunk in fiction. I can barely remember any. Do you have recommendations?

No. I will not pollute your mind with Steampunk. Go read some Caesarius of Arles instead. *NM*

Is there a particular reason why this is an announcement? *NM*

So it can join the other 5 and not be seen due to the plethora of red on the screen! *NM*

I suspect because Jake wanted to make it more prominent, it being such a big release and all. *NM*

Reviewing soon-to-be-released books is part of an Admin's role, you know.
