It's such swashbucklingly good fun. The tone has that wonderful lightness of humour and joy that keeps up in even the direst of situations. At the same time it wonderfully maintains the sense of time and place-the Victorian feel, the language, the class, the clothing, the attitudes are all extremely vivid, carefully maintained and, at times, gloriously lampooned.\" -Fangs for the Fantasy, on \u003cem\u003eBrilliant Devices\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrilliant Devices is the fourth novel in the Magnificent Devices steampunk cozy fantasy series, with books 1-4 forming a quartet.
