When you hear the words "steampunk transgender romance," what do you imagine? Whatever you're expecting, "Girl in the Gears" will certainly surprise you. This is the story of a transgender character told without ever using the word "transgender" (because it doesn't exist in her timeline).
Excellent character development and world-building brings you harrowing action in an alternate universe where floating warships are the norm and technology ranges from steam to electricity. And, of course, trains. Lots of trains.
There is family drama and tender romance (without being explicit,) witty dialogue- a little comedy to break the tension.
And it is tense. Towards the end of the book, one particular scene left me crying.
The audiobook is a real treat, because the narrator (Angel Clark) does an excellent job voicing Ida Tandem and Duffy Hollowood, as well as the other characters in the story. Her characterizations are entertaining and believable, and make you feel like you're listening to a radio drama.
I highly recommend "Girl in the Gears." especially as an audio book.
