'Corsets and Cogs: A Steampunk Fiction Collection'

Excellent collection of steampunk tales; some short stories, some full-length novels. I read two of these with the purpose of reviewing them:

'Princesses and Frogs' by Melanie Karsak - 5 stars


A novella-length steampunk retelling of The Frog Prince in which a wealthy southerner throws an extravagant ball in New Orleans and the servants are dressed either as a Princess or a Frog. Party-goers are all a-buzz about the mysterious identity of their host, who promises to unmask himself at midnight.

'Royal Ruse' by Jayne Fury - 5 stars


A novella-length, gender-swapped steampunk retelling of 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' in which a former soldier from another planet hopes to gain name recognition for herself by solving the mystery of where the king's twelve sons disappear to for a few nights each month.
