I don’t know how a novel with a mechanical octopus could go so wrong

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

July 24, 2022 by KimMiE" 1 Comment

CBR 14 BINGO: Time, because there is a watch on the cover, and a watch in the title, and it deals with the way a person’s possible futures can shift through time Note: I’ve included spoilers to explain what it was that I didn’t like about this novel. The Watchmaker of Filigree Street has all the ingredients required to create something I should love: interesting characters, a non-linear interpretation of time, steampunk-esque mechanics, a beautiful cover, a dash of feminism, and an anthropomorphic clockwork octopus. […]

I have crossed oceans of time to find you.

The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley

February 8, 2022 by TylerDFC 9 Comments

Joe Tournier is an amnesiac living in the French colony of England in 1898. His first memory is of stepping off a train platform in London after arriving from Glasgow with no memory of who he is. He has recurring and fleeting memories of a woman named Madeline, a lighthouse, a man on a beach, and a sense that something is wrong. He is taken to an asylum and a doctor diagnoses him with a rare form of epilepsy, one that has afflicted hundreds of […]

I’m not clockwork.

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

CBR13 BINGO: Machinery Big thanks to Merryn for using this novel for the Machinery square. Very clever way to fill a square that would have otherwise had me stumped or using up my free/pandemic options. Machinery with magical shenanigans is more my speed. Thanks! This novel dips its toes into multiple genre pools: historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy and a dash of romance. It’s hard to find a story uninteresting if it can bring together the Fenian bombings of 1884, the premiere of Gilbert and […]

What unspeakable truth is being covered up by stories of ghosts?

The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley

August 27, 2021 by Merryn Leave a Comment

CBRBingo: Fauna – moths and Katsu, who somehow survived. In her sequel to The Watchmaker of Filligree Street Natash Pulley takes the story to Japan.  Thaniel has been sent by the Foreign Office to investigate stories of ghosts at the British legation.  His boss Fanshaw thinks that someone at the legation might be abusing their power over the local staff and an outsider who speaks the language and knows something of the culture might be able to get to the bottom of what’s really going on.  And […]

The future is an intricately beautiful machine

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

July 10, 2021 by Merryn Leave a Comment

CBR13bingo: Machinery Thaniel works as a telegraphist for the Home Office, a master of the machine.  He’d rather be playing the piano, but his civil service salary allows him to support his widowed sister and nephews and pays the rent for his sad little room in a boarding house on the bank of the Thames. Mori made the exquisitely beautiful watch that was left on Thaniel’s bed in a velvet box.  The watch that saved Thaniel’s life, and brought both of them under suspicion of […]

Very specific genre of older gay men romance, please give me all

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

June 21, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Pride continueth with the book which (I thought) closed out my Goodreads reading challenge (as it were, Goodreads did its thing and thought I’d read something twice). So herein is a genre, I feel: the soft shy (gay) man under the heel of The Man falls for the calm aloof quirky gay man who is being investigated by The Man. I felt so very many shades of The House in the Cerulean Sea while reading this, although I did have to double check to make sure that […]
