I've read 3 of the 4 books in the Steampunk series,
Tales of the Ketty Jay by Chris Wooding. Lisa Mantchev is only the 2nd author that I've read who writes in the genre, Steampunk.
Ticker was Steampunk but a lot different than the world of the Ketty Jay! It was fast-paced and exciting like that other world. The characters were likeable and interesting. It was overall, a quite enjoyable read.
Now I'm going back to an old favorite (not Steampunk) author, Patricia Briggs and her collected Mercy Thompson short stories,
Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson.
