    About this ebook

    Steampunk takes on Southeast Asia in this anthology

    The stories in this collection merge technological wonder with the everyday. Children upgrade their fighting spiders with armor, and toymakers create punchcard-driven marionettes. Large fish lumber across the skies, while boat people find a new home on the edge of a different dimension. Technology and tradition meld as the people adapt to the changing forces of their world. The Sea Is Ours is an exciting new anthology that features stories infused with the spirits of Southeast Asia's diverse peoples, legends, and geography.

      An early copy of the book was sent to me via NetGalley. It won't be released until November 1st 2015.The Sea Is Ours is a refreshing steampunk anthology. The settings are fascinating, from cramped cities to rural villages to airborne whales, and the voices were most profound at all. So much steampunk is from an English or American vantage point, and even if it doesn't glorify the imperial perspective, it can still become a stale setting. I loved reading stories that drew from the Philippines, Malaysia, and other locations across such a wide swath of the world that is too ignored in the genre. Some focused on the industrial side of steampunk, such as the mechanized fighting spiders in Robert Low's "Spider Here," while others drew on mythology such as Alessa Hinlo's "The Last Aswang." There is fabulous representation here--hooray for strong, independent women! I really hope this anthology inspires more diversity in steampunk anthologies--more from southeast Asia, and so many other places (Hawaii? South America? Australia? Please!). Kudos to Jaymee Goh and Joyce Chng for assembling such a fun book!

      The strongest anthology I've read in ages.

      Some favorites were "The Last Aswang", "Chasing Volcanoes", and "The Unmaking of the Cuadro Amoroso", but there wasn't a single story that I didn't enjoy.

      Can't wait to throw this at customers.

      This was an interesting enough anthology compiling steampunk stories written by authors from Southeast Asia, mainly from the Philippines. And although I don’t think any of the stories was outstanding, it’s also true that there were only a couple that didn’t engage me at all. Most of them were nicely written and were original and varied enough to make this book a worthwhile read, particularly for steampunk fans looking for something different to the usual Victorian stuff.My standouts were Kate Osias’s “The Unmaking of the Cuadro Amoroso” and ZM Quynh’s “The Chamber of Souls”. And, being a Spaniard, I found particularly interesting the Philippine stories, because of the language and in some cases the plot as well.
