The Aunt Paradox by Chris Dolley
4.0
Ah, this book. I had no idea what to expect, wasn't familiar with author [a:Chris Dolley|169440|Chris Dolley|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1275930980p2/169440.jpg], and honestly didn't look into this book much beyond "HG Wells has a problem. His Aunt Charlotte has borrowed his time machine and won't give it back. Now she's rewriting history!" which intrigued me.
The book was a pleasant surprise! A little steampunk, a little Sherlock Holmes. Clever and full of action at the same time, and funny.
I also loved the characters. Once I figured out this wasn't the first book with Worcester and Reeves I was a little worried I was missing crucial information, but it didn't matter for this story (although I'm all the more curious about other stories now, like [b:What Ho, Automaton!|11097620|What Ho, Automaton!|Chris Dolley|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327934309s/11097620.jpg|16019636]).
(I won this book in a giveaway on LibraryThing.)
(Also, first review for a book? yay me)
