Like most anthologies, it was a mix of stories that I really liked, ones I thought were okay, and ...

This book has no ending. For real. It just stops. I'm not even sure I can classify it as a cliffhanger it is so abrupt. And with a page count approaching 500 that really yanks my chain. On the plus side this book is mostly set in India, which was a nice change from the well tread streets of London...

This was a cute queer teen romance with some really interesting world building. I find the idea of time being run by clocks, and all the implications and complications that entails, absolutely fascinating. I can honestly say I've never encountered a setting quite like this one before. Heck, I didn't...

This novel didn’t really work for me, although it has an intriguing premise. Time can change. It can Stop. It can jump without continuity. The only things that keep the time from hiccuping are the magical clock towers. Each clock tower has an area of influence, usually a town and surrounding area, w...

This was a very cute alternate Victorian world in which the clocks have a life of their own and the mechanics that take care of them are very much respected. And rightly so, as when the clock fails, there is chance the whole town will get Stopped, lost in time. It was a nice surprise as I really lik...
