But until I firm up my thoughts on those things, I remain in no man’s land. I’ll probably read book 3 in physical format. So I shall sit here on the fence and pick apart my feelings for some time. Tara seemed to really enjoy repeatedly poking the question of what makes someone good or bad.Īnd of course it’s impossible not to love Colton and Danny – not to mention the epic plot twists that happen in relation to Colton’s backstory. If you liked Timekeeper, what should you read next Timekeeper Timekeeper (Book 1) Ravage the Dark Scavenge the Stars (Book 2) In Deeper Waters Seven. Truly, I loved this element about the book. It’s a fascinating setting with English, Indian and people with mixed heritage of both, getting muddled into the complications of which side they’re on in the midst of colonial tension in the British Raj. Tara Sim herself is half-Indian and I felt like Daphne really came to life in this book, presumably the character most closely echoing Tara’s own identity. That aside, I found it to be very interesting on the race front. It’s one of those narrations where it takes me a while to pick up on the fact that I’m not liking the narration.īut I am also notoriously picky when it comes to audiobook narrators. There’s lots of new and exciting dramas that our main characters get involved with, but the breathy, slow (and almost lifeless, if I’m being harsh) narration just left me feeling cold.
I really enjoyed the concept of book one (and the whole series, really) and even found book one to be fun, cute and enjoyable.īut reading this book – or more importantly, listening to it – felt like the equivalent of clock-watching, no pun intended.
I have a theory that it’s the audiobook narration that is slowly killing this series for me. Genre: Historical fiction, Steampunk, Young Adult
