Clockwiser
by Elle Strauss
4.3 stars. I liked this second book in the Clockwise series. It had alternating POVs, between Casey and her brother Tim. I thought that Clockwiser was a good sequel, with plenty of action on both sides of history, unlike in book 1. I thought that Tim was portrayed well as the troublesome brother who has a romanticized view of war, and then almost dies. It was interesting. We recently discussed World War I and how it was romanticized, and how that still happens with war and enlistment today, in my history class. On the note of history, I really like how this series (well, the two books I've read) seems pretty accurate. I'm not a history buff, but it's still nice to see things looking as accurate as my limited historical knowledge says they should be. Anyway, this book was fun, and I'm glad I read it. I'll be reading book 3.
