Boneshaker

My review of Cherie Priest’s Boneshaker is up at Fantasy Magazine. Go check it out.

One thing which I didn’t mention in the review, but that I did want to point out is the font. Yeah, we don’t talk much about font around here, but the text of Boneshaker is printed in a sepia-toned font that is both very easy on the eyes as well as simply beautiful to look at it. It fits the setting of Boneshaker and adds another layer to the overall presentation of that gorgeous cover.

I loved the book, and the sepia tone fits the steampunk thing. But it was hard to read because of the lack of contrast.

Really? I found the text to be very smooth to read because of the font.
