Was there flaws with it? Yes, of course. However I felt that the level of enjoyment I got out of the book was so high that I hardly saw them.
The first flaw was of course the writing. It was very standard ( other than the humor and character crafting of course). At other points in the story things as far as the setting didn't add up or make sense. While some of the steampunk elements felt a little off. It felt like the author was having a hard time getting the image she saw in her minds eye on paper. It always felt like at the least one or two key details were missing. Maybe it was that she forget to fill the reader in on details that had already been stated in her other series ( which I have not had the pleasure of reading yet). But as far as the rest of the writing I found it clever, charming and as stated before a joy to read.
As for everything else I was very pleased with it all. The book was full of sass and spunk.
The thing I loved most about the book was how creative the book was. Things like the vampire and werewolf details were fun and refreshing.
The characters were a very nice mix and blend. Sophronia was great hero. She had so many things going for her, and she never once let me down in the book.
The thing that younger readers will like best about this book is of course the pace of the book. I found that it moved quickly and before I knew what happened it was over.
Over all I think that is a charming book that I would highly recommend for many of the younger readers or readers that want a nice change of pace.
