A review by felinity
The Clockwork Dagger by Beth Cato

4.0

An unusual combination of fantasy steampunk, set in a dystopian world with a strange magical element. Add in the Clockwork Daggers, royal spies and protectors, and some genetic tinkering and you have a very enjoyable read. Some might class this as YA because of the heroine's youth, but it worked just fine for me as an adult reader.
