Innocent Darkness by Suzanne Lazear

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book was not at all what I expected. Based on the cover art, I really thought this was going to be totally steam punk. As it turns out, it is totally fairies with a splash of steam punk thrown in. That aside, I couldn't seem to put it down and I'm not really sure why. I really liked the story, but was disappointed by the character development. The main character, Noli, seemed so promising at first. A free spirited, mechanically inclined girl can get into all sorts of trouble, and she does. But she lacks the confidence of a true independent spirit which makes her character somewhat unbelievable. Of course, there is romance and being the first in a series, there is the hint of a future love triangle. The ending did leave me looking forward to the next book, and I will probably read it. Perhaps the characters will become a little less flat in the next book.
