Sorry to offend anyone with my choice of trashy romance. Yes, it has romantic elements. So did Firefly. So does most Firefly fanfic, in spades. It was a fun read and (for my tastes anyway) it had a nice balance of action and smut. But I tend to like things such as "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" which is trashy and violent.
I've read several steampunk novels, such as Whitechapel Gods and Dreadnought, and to be honest thought that Badlands was much more interesting. To me, anyway, most steampunk novels seem "forced." I don't know how else to explain it. But if I'm going to read something serious and Victorian, I'd rather just read classics from the actual time period. Most modern "steampunk" stuff is just weak plot and uninteresting characters thrown in a dirigible with some goggles, or somesuch equivalent tropes. At least Badlands had the "Firefly-esque" dialog and plotline in its favor, and seemed like a pretty original take on the genre. No need to blast me out of the sky for enjoying it.
Btw the Celts IRL used to charge into battle buck nekkid and with wood, so hey, it's not so unrealistic. I didn't think she was excessively topless, but then I didn't really care either way. :)
