💫This book was alright, nothing amazing, but it was fun.
🩷I would have loved this book when I was a preteen just starting to get into reading. And that's why I read it, because I was in the mood for some nostalgic YA fantasy, which is exactly what I got :)
🕑My favourite part of this book is the magic system. I thought all the clock magic was so creative and unique.
🕰I did not enjoy the romance because Colton seemed far too childish and ignorant of human relationships to be in a relationship. It just felt...weird.
🤷‍♀️everything else was alright. 
⏳️I do want to read the next book in this series because I'm interested in where the story will go next, but with how many series I'm in the middle of, God knows when that will actually happen!

The writing was clumsy and awkward, and often times overwritten. The romance was heavier than I had excepted and so the first half or so of the book didn't seem to go anywhere. It wasn't bad, just not great either. Not sure what the rest of the series will bring to the table. I don't think I'll be finding out either, unless I find myself fairly bored.

Reread 6/26/2023-It's been six years since I first read this book and what a difference that time makes! I decided to reread this so I can continue and finish the series finally. Some of my thoughts have changed. I will say that I still really enjoyed this book but there were several more plot questions/loose threads I noticed this time around that weren't answered/wrapped up. I have so many questions about still. And while I still enjoyed it. I didn't love it as much the second time around so I'm going to reduce my initial rating from a 5 stars to a 4.

I still love Danny and Cassie's friendship. I still want more Daphne. I love the sunshine/grump pairing! Colton is adorable! The clock towers and clock spirits are still mindblowingly awesome.

The mythology felt more out of place in this reread. I'm hoping more gets explained in the next book. I have so many questions about the clock spirits and towers that I hope get answered.

I ended up rereading this mostly on audiobook and the narration was excellent! It definitely upped the enjoyment factor on the story.


First read 11/28/2016- My original review for this book can be read on the Goldilox and the Three Weres blog. 5/5 Stars
