A review by cmsemonco
Before the Broken Star by Emily R. King

5.0

First off, I adore a good #genderbender. And second, twists on fairytales are my weakness. The girl with the clockwork heart. Steampunk Pinocchio. I loved this character because she was flawed. She made poor decisions fueled by revenge above all else. The love interest isn’t quite a...love interest? I can’t say without spoiling but if you enjoy a well worked world, grab this up. I have the ebook but I’m ordering a hardback copy because IT IS GORGEOUS UNDER THAT DUST JACKET. I have an advance copy of the sequel, Into the Hourglass, thanks to #Netgalley and #Skyscape so I hope to finish that in the next day or two!
