The Clock Keeper by Melissa Delport
5.0
I devoured this book. There was just something really special about the adventure Delport takes the reader on. I thought Clarke was a really relatable hero, and the way her backstory was shown through flashbacks really sucked you into the story.
The book is divided into two parts; the first has an undercurrent of the waiting game that Clarke has been playing for 100 years, and really gives you a sense of how this has been going on for seemingly forever. The adventure really kicks off in the second part, which has a sense of urgency that you won't be able to shake.
I loved every single character in this one; from Clarke and Fletcher, the main couple the book is built around, to Anna, the sister whose rash, lovesick actions put this all into motion, to every single side character that aids Clarke on her quest (clock keeper Vincent, aunt Elizabeth, Truman; such a huge cast of characters and still they all felt so real).
I would really recommend this to anyone who's looking for an adventure with a side dish of romance.
