Book Review

by Heather Albano
This wonderful steam-punk time travel novel is the sequel to Timepiece, and picks up directly where that book ends. Elizabeth, William, and Maxwell must fix the damage they have done to the 19th century timeline, while grappling with issues both personal and global. There's adventure, romance, and philosophical musings, all of a most satisfying variety. I found it all so compelling that I nearly missed my bus stop while reading.
I really liked what Albano did with the character of Brenda Trevelyan in this book, revealing depths and complexities that were not at all apparent in Timepiece. It kind of reminded me of what Glen Duncan did with Madeline in Tallula Rising. I also liked the way the different timelines brought out different aspects of the various characters yet also showed what was most essential because it was constant.
