The Steam Mole Cuttlefish Dave Freer Books

Of the two, I personally like The Steam Mole better, mostly because of the basic idea of a steam mole and the fact that it's set in a desert; I like deserts. To be honest, I'm fairly surprised no one has tried to make some sort of steam mole mod for some video game. For example, a steam mole in Minecraft would be extremely useful because half the time you'll be digging in stone. Moving on to Cuttlefish, it's also an extremely good book. Of course, it could be 'cause I really like stealth and stuff like that... Anyway, I also like the fact that you have no idea at the beginning or even toward the end that <spoiler redacted> is the traitor. You'd think he's actually helping Clara, you know? But then he <spoiler redacted>. The best part is, it's RANDOM. I LOVE random twists in books, and I've read plenty, but this is perhaps the most startling one I've read.

The Steam Mole Cuttlefish Dave Freer Books Reviews

I reread Cuttlefish the first book in this series, then read two other new books by other top five favorite authors then read Steam Mole. WOW! I didn't think Dave Freer could top Cuttlefish, and then he did.

Clara and Tim are still enormous amounts of fun, and strong, well written characters. The plot points run on rails, and the supporting cast is divine.

Absolutely an incredible read.
Brother to the king of the British-German Empire, Duke Malcolm sends his minion after Clara Calland and her scientist mom because the latter knows how to manufacture ammonia. While Clara's father lingers in jail in the eastern side of Australia, on the Cuttlefish mother and daughter reach Westralia, a desert part of the continent that the empire prefers to contain not own.

However, the Cuttlefish needs repairs so the Calland duo and the crew are stranded. Whereas the crew obtains work on the underground Steam Moles, Clara and her mother try to persuade the local leadership to buy their manufacturing secret. However, when her mother becomes ill, Clara turns to her boyfriend Tim Barnabas a submariner for help, but he fled due to a racist incident. Meanwhile the nefarious Duke has not given up the pursuit but in fact expanded his plan.

The second Clara Calland alternate historical (see Cuttlefish) is an exciting young adult steampunk thriller starring a brave heroine and a strong support cast in the fully developed Freer world. Although it behooves the audience to read Cuttlefish first to better appreciate what is happening in this realm, fans will relish this entertaining tale.

Dave Freer's Cuttlefish laid the perfect foundation to Clara and Tim's story, from their blooming friendship to their dangerous adventure. After many days dodging Duke Malcolm's army, Clara and the other residents of the Cuttlefish have finally made it to the Republic of Westralia. Their journey begins anew in The Steam Mole as they adapt to life on land and all the trials that follow.

What I love about Cuttlefish and The Steam Mole is how consistent Freer remains with the steampunk and science-fiction elements. Clara is no longer confined to an illegal, coal powered submarine, but Freer easily introduces another intricate, and quite important, machine the steam mole. The steam mole is a central part of the novel that intrigued me because it took the biggest scenes of adventure underground. It's like exploring a whole new world with the same suspenseful aura and complex storyline.

Freer extends our view of Clara's world. With her mother's sudden illness, and the fragile hope that her father is imprisoned nearby, the story's plots and subplots diverge. New characters are thrown into the growing pile of perspectives like Lampy, the young aboriginal with a dark past and bright future. Lampy reminded me of Tim because of their similar backgrounds and temperaments; both know how to survive in the most unlikeliest situations and both are the victims of prejudice based on the color of their skin. This aspect brings a certain cultural awareness that is highly overlooked in young adult literature. That it's found in a steampunk, sci-fi novel is even more of a draw.

While I did enjoy The Steam Mole and it's perfectly pieced together conclusion, I have to say that it wasn't quite the sequel to Cuttlefish that I'd been expecting. By the end of the story I got the impression that the characters were settling in their new lives, not gearing up for a possible future adventure. When the subplots finally converged and the wrongs set right, the outcome felt as though forced. Freer made it too easy and not as nerve-wrecking as the explosive conclusion of Cuttlefish. I really love Clara and Tim, their ability to tough it out is awesome, I'm hoping to find their story continue in another novel. Hopefully, one with just as much action and alternate history!

Superb sequel to Cuttlefish, built on a very believable (and well explained) alternate history. Hope this series continues.
If you read and enjoyed Cuttlefish, you'll definitely like Steam Mole.

Our protagonists run into various forms of prejudice, but work their way through the obstacles, and the day is saved.

Very nice world-building; characters with character.

If you have not read Cuttlefish, get that first.
This is an excellent alternate history for young teens, even as an adult I enjoyed this as a guilty pleasure. Without going into the details of this book I felt that it successfully captured attitudes of that era, yet supplied a lot of good old fashioned pluckiness by two young people in the face of overwhelming odds.
I bought it for myself on , and then ordered a hard-cover for the middle school where I volunteer (to go along with its predecessor, Cuttlefish). It's a refreshing change from the current wave of dystopian YA fiction.
