The Strange Case of Finley Jayne by Kady Cross
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I haven't had much luck so far finding a really great Steampunk novel. The story for this one was very formulaic and predictable. All of the classic steampunk elements were there: the automotons, the mad scientist, the "monster". But none of the elements were used in particuarly creative ways. I found myself confused by the main character and her "abilities" and would have liked to see her character flushed out a bit more. But this is clearly a preamble to the main novel, so perhaps there's hope for Finley Jayne yet.
