The standard of writing is great too, with some wonderful descriptive passages. And who could resist Nix, the mechanical pixie with its snotty attitude and smart tongue?! Despite the reservations above, I am really enjoying this series. I like the notes of steampunk and I like the idea of magic suffusing a dystopian world. And I like a book whose prose manages to be both smooth and gripping, which ''Shadowlark'' does with ease.
We also have a review of Spooner's [[Skylark by Meagan Spooner|Skylark]]. If ''Shadowlark'' appeals, I think you might also enjoy the fabulous [[Incarceron by Catherine Fisher]], [[Pure by Julianna Baggott]] and [[Escape from Genopolis by T E Berry-Hart]].
