“Really enjoyed this collection of short stories centering around a steampunk vision of South East Asian countries & community. As with all collections, there were several stand-outs that really spoke to me and the accompanying illustrations were the cherry on top for each.
I guess it's no surprise that my favorite stories are those that center around women, and happy to report that there's a lot of diversity to be had in these short stories. Out of all of them, I really wish there's a full-length novel of the last story, "The Insects and Women Sing Together", because wow was all I could say at the end of it.”

“Practically all of the stories in this collection was solid! I don't read steampunk/sci-fi often, but this was inviting :) Reading and discussing it with the https://www.instagram.com/literasea.bookclub/ definitely enriched my experience.
(Hopefully a lengthier review soon, lol.)”

“What a delightful mixed bag! Most of the stories feature cool steampunk inventions interwoven with history and fantastical elements, though some entries are hampered by clunky prose and narrative. Still, it's a collection worth reading, especially if you are looking for something very different from the familiar elements of steampunk fiction. Perhaps it's time for a second SEA steampunk anthology?
The standout stories for me are:
Working Women by Olivia Ho - There should be a petition for Olivia Ho to write a novel series with the characters from this story. Rarely do I find a story that leaves me wanting more of it after the last page is turned.
The Insects and Women Sing Together by Pear Nuallak - An astute observation about the role of women in society, war and violence through the lens of steampunk.
Petrified by Ivanna Mendels - A retelling of the tale of Malin Kundang with a twist you don't see coming.”
