By the way, if you haven't seen Bobby McFerrin's two-minute - and almost wordless - presentation on the power of the pentatonic scale, drop what you're doing and watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne6tB2KiZuk #music
A lot of the writing in Leverage is weird and hilarious in ways that I *think* are unintentional but it's hard to tell.
If a page-turner about The First Female Airship Captain, war heroics, and people getting hit with cannonballs sounds fun, you'll probably like this book! If it doesn't, you probably won't!
It'd be easy to label this "steampunk" because airships, but I reject that.
It's not about wonderous technology made out of gears and brass. It's mid-19th-century warfare (bone saws included) that has the addition of smallish wood and helium airships that might break in half if you try and turn the rudder too hard.
"We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture." is still one of the spookiest sentences I've ever read. (http://prod.sandia.gov/techlib/access-control.cgi/1992/921382.pdf, appendix F, section 4.1)
