Product Description

If you like steampunk stories by Cherie Priest and Gail Carriger, you’ll love Her Own Devices, the sequel to Shelley Adina’s bestselling Lady of Devices.

Escaped lunatics, lost children, vengeful lords, and love. Really, the situation is becoming quite impossible.

Seventeen-year-old Lady Claire Trevelyan, left alone after the Arabian Bubble financial disaster claims home and family, now leads the cleverest gang in the London underworld. Between outwitting a rival gang, inventing a device that will net her and her scientist employer worldwide fame, and keeping her mother from marrying her off, she can almost forget that a powerful lord wants to get closer ... and if he succeeds, can destroy it all with a single word ...

The series gets better 30 April 2012
By simon211175 VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Regular readers of my reviews will know that I picked up the first in this series (Lady of Devices, a steampunk adventure novel (Magnificent Devices)) without any real reasoning. I gave it only 4 stars because I didn't like the start, but by the end I couldn't wait to get this one.

Having now read this one, I can honestly say I loved it. There is less in this instalment regarding the adventures of The Lady of Devices, focusing more on the engineering project between Lady Claire and Andrew Malvern. The book is however so well written that I found I didn't miss it that much. The section with Doctor Craig was great, and I would have liked more surrounding that part.

The only bad thing I can say about this (and the previous) book, is the length. These books are short. Brilliant, but short. Penned as a trilogy, I would gladly see this as an ongoing series.

Hooked and wanting more! 29 Dec 2011
By Amy Driscoll - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Her Own Devices" is the follow up novel to "Lady of Devices". Lady Claire is a fascinating woman who overcomes her upbringing, financial disaster and social restraints to find her own form of independence using the powers of her intellect and inventiveness.

I could not put this down once I had started it. The action keeps moving, the dialogue is sharp and enjoyable (I kept laughing out loud at Lady Claire's arguments) and Adina's Victorian London is rich and well made.

My only regret is that I now have to wait for the next installation in the series.

I loved this 8 Mar 2012
By KAMARIA NURSE - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I started reading the first book and immediately had to purchase the second, I could not put them down. I am eagerly awaiting the third book. Lady Claire Trevelyan and her band of urchins are off again on adventures of science and industry that takes them to some rather unusual places. I was thoroughly intrigued by the latest developments in this book and absolutely loved that Claire is holding onto her dreams and is willing to fight for her future and those of her beloved kids. Excellent installment in this series.

Couldn't Inhale 2nd installment fast enough 7 April 2012
By Debra Roberts - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Read the first book and upon finishing the last word immediately switched to shop Kindle store and got this second book. These books are everything that's right about steampunk: fiesty, smart, independent [in this case female] main character, dire circumstances overcome by pluck, courageous actions backed with cleverness and a strong moral compass. The entire cast of characters are richly drawn and have individual voices. Great series. Only downside is we now have to wait for the third installment in what I hope is a long-lived series.
