A review by ivyboyd
The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

2.0

Sad, because their story in The Haunting Season with the same characters was so good. There was too much going on at once with no real motives, and no character was truly likeable. I liked Grace, but despite her knowing that this wasn’t a relationship at all, it was an arrangement, freaked out because Thaniel didn’t want to be with her after knowing him for 2 pages sums up how quickly everything in the book moved.

This is also the first book I’ve read where they didn’t manage to make me imagine or feel immersed the time period I was in, I couldn’t stop imagining the characters in ordinary modern settings.
