The Court of the Air is loving terrible. It's a ridiculous, bloated mess of a book that makes very little coherent sense. Hunt has a good imagination but he just crams as much poo poo in as possible with no idea of pacing or flow. Towards the end I had no idea who was doing what, and I no longer cared. It was like watching the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He's no China Mieville, and he's definitely no Philip Pullman.

Also I have no idea why anyone would bother writing a critical allegory about the evils of communism in loving 2007.

Recently started "Court of the Air" - liking it so far, but I'm less than 100 pages into it...

Ahahaha buckle the gently caress up.

If you want your kids to read fantastic steampunk, get them onto Philip Reeve's "Mortal Engines" series.
