This book is about Lady Mechanika after suffering a tragic loss she just wants to be alone so she heads off to a small Mexican village. Turns out she's arriving just in time for their celebration of the dead. I knew a wanted to give this a read once I found out that it's a.) is set in a fictionalized steampunk Victorian England b.) it's a graphic novel based around Día de los Muertos celebration. I'm glad I did read it. This book is different than graphics I've been reading lately. I enjoyed the story where she had to solve the case and fulfill promises; even -maybe- starts to find herself.

As for characters there a few we get to know a little. But Lady Mechanika is our lead and feel that -seeing as she has no memory of her captivity or her former life - her personality fits that. We don't know her favorite color or food. We don't know anything but that she has a troubled, she now fighting for whats right and she can kick butt.

The art in the book is an amazing blend of Mexican and Steampunk. It mashes this two very different styles to make one new style that pulls this whole book together. I will be keeping my eyes out for more stories in this series.
