I characterized The
Clockwork Dagger as a Steampunk romance.
The sequel The
Clockwork Crown is substantially more than that. This short story provides some insight as to
Miss Percival's actions in the noted stories above.
The Waster war is not explained in this short story. This story merely provides background on the
other books. I think that it might fare
better as a preface in one of the books rather than a stand alone story. There wasn't enough background here on the
Lady or the Tree or the abilities of Miss Leander or Miss Percival.
I liked the story but I don't think it would be as enjoyable
without having read the books.
I highly recommend both The
Clockwork Dagger and The
Clockwork Crown.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
