They are all similar in age and yet they go gradually from eldest to youngest. The three child characters are each fantastic as we get to know them and beautifully written.
What the story is, is adventure at top-speed, unique plotline and a page turner.I was hooked at the first chapter and was held in this book's grip until the wonderful satisfying end. There is a mystery this is mostly realistic fiction but there is just that tiny hint of fantasy the author's note let's us know that some of the events are a compilation from actual events in history, though no dates or name places are given to let us know whether this is happening on our Earth or an alternate Earth. It centres around clockmakers, clockworks and an automaton within a Victorian (or Victorian-like) society and is obviously steampunk but from there it defies generalization.
Reason for Reading: This book came unsolicited but I enjoy steampunk as well as stories set in Victorian-like eras, especially from the lower class point of view.This is a tough book to categorize.
