I’m so glad The Watchmaker of Filigree Street has this sequel so I could live with these characters some more! I do wish I had read this novel sooner after reading the first book, as I felt a little lost in the beginning. But once I caught up, I fell in love with Thaniel and Mori all over again. Seeing Thaniel is his new fatherhood role was especially sweet. I loved the Victorian England setting of the first book, but Victorian era Japan was even more interesting! I am fascinated by Pulley’s mix of fact and fiction, in how she pulls true historical characters and scientific fact together with compelling plot lines. It was packed with the right amount of action and intrigue for me, and there were definitely parts of the text I didnt want to put down. But at its core, it’s a heartfelt tale of loyalty, love, and sacrifice for the greater good.
