…but I think it’s a great meme over at Breaking the Spine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Inspired by two of the most beloved works by literary masters, All Men of Genius takes place in an alternate Steampunk Victorian London, where science makes the impossible possible.<\/p>\n

Violet Adams wants to attend Illyria College, a widely renowned school for the most brilliant up-and-coming scientific minds, founded by the late Duke Illyria, the greatest scientist of the Victorian Age. The school is run by his son, Ernest, who has held to his father\u2019s policy that the small, exclusive college remain male-only. Violet sees her opportunity when her father departs for America. She disguises herself as her twin brother, Ashton, and gains entry.<\/p>\n

But keeping the secret of her sex won\u2019t be easy, not with her friend Jack\u2019s constant habit of pulling pranks, and especially not when the duke\u2019s young ward, Cecily, starts to develop feelings for Violet\u2019s alter ego, \u201cAshton.\u201d Not to mention blackmail, mysterious killer automata, and the way Violet\u2019s pulse quickens whenever the young duke, Ernest (who has a secret past of his own), speaks to her. She soon realizes that it\u2019s not just keeping her secret until the end of the year faire she has to worry about: it\u2019s surviving that long.<\/i> – Barnes & Noble<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the author’s website, here are the prologue and the first two chapters… , if you dare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And Tor.com has put up chapters 5&6<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I dared to read all of these excerpts and now I want to whine — oh, mistake, mistake –!! Because. I. Want. This. Book. NOW.<\/b><\/p>\n
