There's a book series we remember reading years and years ago that I'd like to find again. Is anyone familiar with a YA novel about an alternate steampunk-ish Victorian society with space travel, where the main characters live on a space station and at some point it turns out their mom was a deity of some sort who created the solar system (but only the solar system)? Some kind of alien spiders come into it somewhere too.
I found it! It's called Larklight, by Philip Reeve, and it's the first of a three-book series
