Mori’s background also felt a tiny bit muddled in places, but that may have been intentional (or maybe I didn’t read those parts closely enough). There are more viewpoint characters in this novel, and the narrative jumps between settings a bit more than it did in the first book. This may have been, in part, due to the complexity of the story itself. Overall, I enjoyed this book a lot, though I didn’t feel that the narrative pulled together quite as coherently as it did in the earlier stories. I loved spending time with Thaniel, Mori and Six in Pulley’s richly re-imagined Victorian London. Book is propped against a green houseplant.Īfter reading both The Watchmaker of Filigree Street and Natasha Pulley’s related short story “The Eel Singers” (from the collection The Haunting Season, Ghostly Tales for Long Winter Nights), I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this. Cover is lime green with gold-embossed dragonflies flying around an octopus which is inside of a lightbulb. Photo of The Lost Future of Pepperharrow book by Natasha Pulley.
