The Clockwork Menagerie by Elliot Cooper

4.0

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed this. It's a gentle and lighthearted romance novella about a charming craftsman with a struggling business who finds love. Clement designs and builds life-like mechanical animals and, while he is a brilliant artist and engineer, he's not a very good businessperson. I enjoyed all the detail and the secondary characters are wonderful, as are the animals themselves. This is a lovely little steampunk story that's nicely written and a little bit delightful.
