beepsies 's review for:
The Watchmaker of Filigree Street
by Natasha Pulley
mysterious
medium-paced
Interesting premise and prose that drew me in right away! The style was my favorite thing about this book, though I did feel like it started out strong and got progressively weaker.
I found the cast to be largely unlikeable, though, and felt like the climax was uninteresting and out of place. It's also packed to the gills with period anti-asian racism which the MC skirts around but is heartily professed by nearly every other character, as well as lots of anti-irish sentiments.
It has some panache out of the gate but was ultimately not to my taste.
