34. The Damnation Affair–Lilith SaintCrow

 

 

Steampunk!

A Boston miss accepts a teaching post out in the Westron frontier in order to find out what’s happened to her brother. She lands in Damnation, the last place she’s heard from him.  He’s not in town and she’s reluctant to ask about him given what she finds there.  What she finds there is a bit unsettling for someone raised in civilization. Not to mention zombies, a Chinois sorceror, and a Sheriff who is definitely more than he pretends to be.

I found Cat to be annoying because she’s depicted as so timid but she learns fast, as is necessary. Not much in the way of steampunk in town but lots of strange ‘mancy.  Not to mention all those walking dead.
