like a crime noir novel set in the 1800s which ...
By Vicki
So I’m going to start off by saying I probably wouldn’t have chosen this book to be my next read. I would have gotten to it next on my list it wasn’t very high up there. The story follows Jacob “Jolly” Fellows a P.I. strong arm for a Victorian Lord who knows everything about everyone. When Jolly is sent out to investigate a stolen automaton, the ball starts rolling on a conspiracy for all times.
When I first opened the book it read, to me, like a crime noir novel set in the 1800s which really appealed to me; I love both – they’re awesome. And the steampunk aspect where a lot of the plot looked to be settled around these automatons that move and react like real people was really cool. But there were just some things that really bugged me and I promised myself I wouldn’t rant so I will try my best not to.
Firstly this book is described as a steampunk, noir, historical fiction. Noir goes right in the ‘checked box’ that was really well presented but the steampunk? I feel like we lost it fairly early on, getting caught up with the action. Mentioning the automatic girl once or twice just so we don’t forget that’s why we started this journey doesn’t count as steampunk in my book.
Secondly the historical part of ‘historical fiction’ just made me twitch. It didn’t ruin the story for me but it made the corner of my eye twitch. The setting was good; the culture and social scene was accurate. It was the characters themselves. There are a number of famous historical figures woven into the plot of this book that definitely would have been in London at that time and could totally have been friends but they were locked in this huge conspiracy that revealed itself fairly early. I just find it so dangerous and often unnecessary to include historical figures into the book when you could just as easily make your own character that emulates that historical figure or follows their belief system. It was just so pointless because when I see that famous name I’m walking into it with a prejudice about what I as a reader think this historical figure was like and of course it’s going to be different from how he acts on the page because every writer will describe them in a different light and for a different purpose. But if you create a new character, one who holds a similar stance to that historical figure, I’m coming at it with fresh eyes, seeing what the writer wants me to see. So needless to say, I did not like the historical figures in the historical fiction.
That’s not to say I didn’t like it. The unresolved rivalry between Jacob and the man named Silver was humorously tragic and the romance between Mary and Jacob was so easy and comfortable and yet so strained that I was constantly waiting to see what they would do next and they never disappointed – yes this is coming back to the old characters vs. the new character.
Then of course there was the automatic woman – the Swan Princess – who causes all kinds of chaos and then drops off the pages while we focus on drunken fist fights and lectures on the origin of species only to resurface near the end suddenly fixed and ready to go. I’ll admit there were several instances where I completely forgot why this whole journey that Jolly takes even started but then I’d come back and wonder about my automatic woman.
The part, for me, that was consistent throughout the entire novel was the noir aspect, the style of speaking and presenting the situation. Noir is one of my favourite styles (of writing, of movie and music…and hair) and I was really excited to let that gritty feeling just sink into my bones while I read it.
I’m recommending this book for those readers who are interested in a crime noir in a different setting and if you can forget all the negative, rant-y things I said about it and read it with fresh eyes – every book should be read with fresh eyes and without bias; it just makes this so much easier – then peruse it for a spell.

It's Alive?
By Nocturnus
I have never read a book quite like this. There are twists and turns you can not possibly see coming. The ingenuity of this writer is to be applauded. Noir meets steampunk all wrapped in mystery and suspense...along with a fair bit of horror. Comedic pitfalls and impossible situations lend quite a bit of humor to the story :) I really enjoyed this book and wish there were more!
Unlikely alliances are the biggest plot device in this story. The hero isn't handsome or incredibly intelligent he's just an average bloke who has good investigative skills and a healthy self preservation instinct. Of course he has to keep his friends safe as well but that's just good form right? I would recommend this book to mystery lovers and steampunk fans. Noir lovers might enjoy it also even though the time period is off.
** this book is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers

A little too much gore for my taste
By Tahlia Newland
I ordered Automatic Woman from Netgally because I thought it was steampunk, and I like steampunk, but I didn't like this very much, possibly because it wasn't really steampunk, just an action story with a murderous automaton. It also had a little too much gore for my taste. After setting the events in motion, the automaton pretty much disappeared from the story, and we were left with a man playing a pawn in a deadly game between Charles Darwin and his nemesis.
The story is unusual, one where we're not quite sure who Jolly should be siding with. It's well-structured and well-paced with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. I had to keep reading to find out how Jolly was going to get himself out of his double bind. Mary's presence was a welcome addition. Without her and the touch of love and humanity that she brought, it would have been a barren story indeed. As it was, their relationship provided a way for Jolly to develop as a character.
My favourite scene is the debate between Darwin and an American Christian determined to prove his theories wrong. The frustration Darwin felt at having logic and reason denied by ignorance masquerading as faith came across very clearly and allowed us to understand the motivation behind Darwin's actions.
If you enjoy murder mysteries and don't mind a bit of gore, you'll might enjoy this one. It's got the fighting, the thugs (Jolly is one himself) and the bosses who pull their strings, making them dance to their own personal tune. 3 stars.
