In most of the fantasy genre, the presence of magic precludes the development of technology, but this is about a world not terribly unlike our own where they're industrializing anyway; it's all refreshingly well thought-out and the world is all full of interesting implications. On top of general steampunky coolness, it's got espionage, engineering, Australia, parties, and pirates! What more could you ask for?
