The Watchmaker of Filigree Street
by Natasha Pulley
The moment I finished reading The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, I felt a strong urge to go right back to the beginning and start again. It’s one of those stories that starts out simple, close to boring, and then slowly gains momentum until you can’t put it down.
I almost gave up on the author’s writing style after a couple of chapters. Though the language is not difficult, I found myself needing to go over sentences twice because I felt as if there were a hidden meaning that I was missing. I didn’t know if I had the energy to put into reading the story, but I’m glad I persevered.
The characters in this novel (especially Thaniel and Mori) are amazing. You truly feel like they are people you’ve known in a past life. They have a unique coziness to them. Even the clockwork characters are well crafted. One of them, Katsu the Octopus, truly stole my heart. As soon as I closed the book, I started missing them.
Natasha Pulley’s novel is the type that needs to be read multiple times to really absorb all of the tiny details and nuances. I definitely plan to read this book again soon.
If only The Watchmaker at Filigree Street would be made into a movie! It would be challenging, but glorious!
