ReplyDeleteThose costumes are amazing. I'll be surprised if we don't see some runway inspiration at fashion weeks one season soon.
ReplyDeleteYaY! I adore steampunk! The new YA novel, Incarceron looks very steampunkish also. Can't wait to read it AND Leviathan.
ReplyDeleteCPhodges: Yes, Incarceron is great. Not exactly steampunk, but it's a great mix of different kinds of technology: medieval and futuristic. I think that's my favorite kind of world, one where a lot of different flavors are stacked up against each other.
ReplyDeleteI like that, Scott-a book should have many flavors to give it richness--like a triple decker ice cream cone.
