In the sequel to CLOCKWORK BOYS, Slate, Brenner, Caliban and Learned Edmund have arrived in Anuket City, the source of the mysterious Clockwork Boys. They even managed to build some trust in each other's skills. That trust is built on quicksand as the risks continue to escalate. But the secrets they're keeping could well destroy them, before the city even gets the chance...Old foes and consequences of past decisions lurk in the shadows. Every team member's skills are required to succeed--even more so if they hope to survive.The Wonder Engine never lets us forget our funny, broken group even as the action propels our heroes to new highs and lows. It shows that making the most of the rest of your life can be rewarding--no matter how many mechanical abominations you need to destroy to get there.

4/5

I loved this conclusion to the Clocktaur Wars. Many of the twists continued to surprise me. And as always, I love anytime Gnolls show up in T. Kingfisher's White Rat books.

A strong finish to this fantasy duology. Slate and her band of misfits have figured out where the Clocktaurs are coming from and now must figure out a way to destroy them. She must also deal with her growing feelings for the not quite possessed Paladin Caliban.

I enjoy the way T. Kingfisher creates worlds full of people having very real struggles in a life that is not easy, but still infuses their stories with a level of fluffy hopefulness.

Second in the series see the characters arrive at their goal and set about graining access to the secrets of the cloctaurs. While also dealing with a lot of sexual tension and doging some scary people from the past. Fullfils the promise of the first book. Another cracking adventure.

So, this was a treat, a very satisfying conclusion to the duology. I could even tolerate the romance plot bunny when it was done like this, along with demon slaying and multilayered themes handled with subtlety and humor.

I haven't actually come across a book from T. Kingfisher that I haven't adored and soon my ongoing project of reading through her entire biography is complete. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👌

The other part of the Clocktaur War duology picks up the threads from Clockwork Boys and finishes weaving an enthralling and satisfying tale.
