Shanghai Sparrow — Gaie Sebold

Shanghai Sparrow -- Gaie SeboldThis began the final couple of Gaie’s books that i haven’t read.

Admittedly, i picked this up with a fair few preconceptions and had them all dashed rather quickly.   The first thing is that i’ve put Gaie’s writing firmly in the fantasy-for-grown-ups genre, and this is anything but that.

So i was rather surprised to find myself reading some steampunk with a hint of fantasy aimed at teenage girls (at least that where i think it belongs).   I was even more surprised to find myself quite enjoying it, being a 57 year old man.   It’s very similar to Magnificent Devices by Shelley Adina, so if you enjoy that kind of “silly” then i’m sure you’ll enjoy this kind of “silly”.

I’m certainly enjoying a bit of “silly” at the moment, so i’m diving straight into the second book in the series, Sparrow Falling for some more.
