Judge Containing Books The Aylesford Skull (Narbondo #7)

Why don't any of these people have emotions? I know they're British and all, but damn...

Unlike ALL the other reviewers who has never read a Blaylock Novel until now, I have actually read all of his books. Even his cookbook!(Why do they all say, that they haven't read his books until now? It's not something to be proud of? Maybe it's a joke. Of course they have read masterpieces like "All the Bells" and "The last Coin" and "Diggin Leviathan" and...)Anyway. This is a book about characters in London 1883. London and the life in London is described in exciting and believable detail. We

James P. Blaylock in his new book, The Aylesford Skull a new book in Tale of Langdon St. Ives series published by Titan Books gives us the first new steampunk novel in over twenty years from one of the genres founding fathers!From the back cover: It is the summer of 1883 and Professor Langdon St. Ives brilliant but eccentric scientist and explorer is at home in Aylesford with his family.

You see, I wanted to read the other books in the series, which were republished by Titan Books, before I delved into reviewing this baby. The reason for that is simple, Im not a steampunk reader in general and it would have been completely unfair of me to judge the book without some background knowledge. When I first read the book (back in February), I immediately noticed

A new entry in James Blaylock's steampunk sequence is a promise of great pleasure. I've given it a provisional four stars, because I get at least four stars worth of pleasure from the prospect of reading it. (Sometimes I think I get as much pleasure from the anticipation of reading a book as from actually reading it...)Steampunk has become rather devalued as a brand in recent years - a ragbag of stale tropes and gimmicks for lazy fantasists (Lord save us from another bloody airship!) - but
