Volume 3 of Lady Mechanika combines a lot of the elements that I enjoyed from the first two books. The characters are back in London and Lady Mechanika herself seems more enmeshed in the city. There is a familiarity with some of the other characters and locations that makes it feel like a natural place for her to be. It picks up where the second volume left off and transitions nicely into the new story.
One again, the art is great. It really helps set the tone for these stories. This volume takes on the classic golem story and puts that steampunk spin on it. I love how the creators decided to implement it. This book is much shorter than the first two though. It's good because it makes the story more concise, but I'd like to see more of this world.
