Excellent Sequel from an Excellent Author, 30 Nov 1999
By Emily Snyder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Gnome's Engine (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Gnome's Engine," sequel to "Goblin Moon," returns us to the pseudo-18th century world where "Enlightenment" beliefs hold sway, and "magic" is magnetics. Sera, Eliste and Jed have gone to New Imbria to escape the Duchess, little realising that another adventure has just begun. Incorporating some dangling threads (that due to her tight writing did not seem to dangle) from its predecessor, "The Gnome's Engine" takes the reader through several separate plots: the Duchess' revenge, the slave trade in Orania, the mystery of the hobgoblins, and of course the mystery of the engine itself. The tone of the work varies slightly from "Goblin Moon" in its freshness, apropos to the freshness of New Imbria (the Americas). Readers will be glad to see the dashing cavalier Lord Francis Love Skelbrooke in full flair as well - and may even learn the true colour of his hair! All in all an excellent sequel from an excellent author.

This sequel shines brighter than the first..., 1 Feb 2006
By K. Kathryn Evans "slylyshy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Gnome's Engine (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms Edgerton is skillful in exposing the adaptable abilities of Sera, her cousin, her friend and Francis Skelbrooke. Sera and her traveling companions have found new work and new lives while waiting for elusive word from Francis Skelbrooke. Lord Skelbrooke in turn has his undercover duties to complete before he is free to join the others in their new land. Luckily for Sera and her 2 traveling friends Lord Skelbrooke has found them before the Duchess and her accomplices are able to close in. The various plots twisting here and there only season the finale until you feel you are a part of this wonderful adventure. Although, whatever happens to the indigo ape and the Duchess Ms Edgerton???

Confusing..but still good, 8 July 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Gnome's Engine (Mass Market Paperback)
Edgerton follows the story line from Goblin Moon in this volume. The plot is a little weird sometimes, and you're not always sure of what is going on, but her incredible style is still very good and makes up for all the faults of the plot. Read it, please
