subplotkudzu 's review for:

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

4.0

---

This was a recommendation from my wife, who normally has very good taste in what I might like to read out of her book collection, and it was an excellent one. The book is not perfect - it suffers from a lot of first novel issues, and some of the historical bits included were a bit too standard - but as a steampunk urban fantasy it was a lovely bit of work. Pulley's sentence level work was exceptionally good and the plot was peculiar enough to not be formulaic, which is always nice. I'll certainly be looking for more by her in the future.
