Third Daughter (The Dharian Affairs Trilogy #1) by Susan Kaye Quinn
Third daughter is an amazing dive into the steampunk genre (which I'm coming to love more and more each day). A delightful mix of gadgets and inventions with a fantastic costume-like storyline. The characters are larger than life and the book blurb really hits in on the head when it compares it to Bollywood.
Aniri is the perfect pampered pricess who is shocked to find out she may have to marry for political means after planning on marrying for love. Thank goodness her betrothed seems to understand her lack of enthusiasm. What he doesn't realize is that she has been asked to spy on his country.
I loved the scenery, the characters, and almost everything about it. There were some things that were a bit too drawn out for me though - but I can't give them away or I'll ruin it for you. This is a great unique addition to the steam punk world.
