A review by fishface
Clockwork City by Paul Crilley
3.0
3.5 stars
This book was the exact sort of urban fantasy chaos (and I mean CHAOS) I needed right now! I picked it up from my local library not knowing that it was a sequel, but the plot was easy to follow and fast-paced so that was no issue. Props to it for drawing on a wide range of supernatural creatures from a variety of cultures, instead of the same tired vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches(although some of them did feature)
The main flaw I found in this book was the oversaturated amount of, frankly, cringey references. When Dog ( the talking dog) made a Doge joke I honestly wanted to gouge my eyes out. It would have been so much better without it.
