Boneshaker by Cherie Priest. 416 pp.
A steampunk novel set in 1880s Seattle, now a shattered city surrounded by a wall keeping the Blight (a toxic gas) and the rotters (zombies created by the Blight) within. A grittier, grimier setting than many steampunk books, which is fine, but I can't put my finger on quite why this book isn't as much fun as I hoped it would be. It's a fascinating setting, though, and I'll certainly read any follow-up volumes.
