Why read it?
1 author picked OverLondon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A steam-punk alternative history novel featuring flying cities, exploding priests, confectionary gangsters, piratical florists, and so, so much more. The sheer depth of imagination, ridiculously meticulous world-building, and bombastic humor would make me insanely jealous of Penney’s and Johnson’s talent if I—wait, no, I am insanely jealous of their talent. I can’t wait for the sequel.
This is a great read but also a fantastic audiobook. Brendan McDonald juggles dozens of characters with aplomb.
From Scott's list on fantasy books for when you need a laugh.
