Children of a New Golden Age: Dearly, Departed... by Lia Habel (steampunky book)

[Wardly]

Down in Central America, the Territory of New Victoria thrives, mixing the technology of the future with the idealized fashions and morals of the past. Computers and holograms exist side-by-side with genteel manners and high fashion, creating a unique blend of old and new. Unfortunately, while it might be something of a new golden age, it’s not perfect.

Following your recommendation I had a look at this book. It's the first time I have seen a Kindle edition priced more than the paperback version. Here in the UK the paperback is on sale at £6.29 while the Kindle edition is £6.64. I hope this is not going to be the start of a trend.

Other reviews are very complementary but do point out that it is aimed at the Teens/Young Adults market. If only I was in that demographic range
