Cyberpunk and Steampunk

I read Soulless by Gail Carriger. This is a love story that is between two werewolves. The lovers go against evil to save their world. Alexia loves being in the supernatural world more than her own. This goes great with what we learned this week with going through alternative realities. In this case with vampires werewolves and such. She has to find out why vampires and werewolves are missing before its too late. The problem is that they are the real inventors of what was going on during that time. The mad scientist in this story is trying to take over her using her lover as bait to get her full power. Because the supernaturals are the ones coming up with all of the inventions, humans want to stop them and make sure they are the ones creating everything. Her lover, Maccon uses other vampires and werewolves to protect her during the full moon. What makes this a cool story is that she is going through different realities to save her one and only.
I this this is a great story because of the plot and everything but I have read and watched many movies like this story. She is looked up to because of how courageous she is and shows that she is a strong woman saving her man.
She is chosen by the council of supernaturals to keep the balance of the two worlds. Helping them all live together and make sure everything is okay.

I kind of feel like the story is like Twilight. I don’t know why but I got pictures in my head from the movies and parts of the book.   I love the fact that Queen Victoria from England is in the book which really shows the separation of the real world and the fantasy world. The ending is just like a movie would end, the peace is resotored from all the chaos and the two pain characters get married and everything is a fairy tale ending.
