Clockwork Angels, Lea Hernandez’s followup to Cathedral Child, is something of a departure from the charming nature of the very first book. The exact same components are included — love, adventure, discovery — however they’re mixed in different proportions, resulting in a gripping chase across the Southwest as the primary characters find their true selves.
Temperance as well as Amy are traveling from new Orleans to San Antonio. Temper, a young widow, is pretending to be a parlor magician, although she’s truly a psychic who can checked out the thoughts of dead people. She’s been asked to examine the death of one of the characters from the previous book.
Amy is Temper’s buddy from childhood, an orphan without any history. We discover much more of her background as she finds the household she never understood she had, in addition to the reason for her unusual speed as well as other preternatural abilities. As Amy as well as solidify are pursued by the murderer Sacerdote, their near-death experiences bring them better together. They come to recognize that their like for every other is much more than just a deep friendship.
There’s much more style rate of interest in this volume than the first, with comprehensive clothes as well as settings of the period. I’m likewise amused by the method that Hernandez’s villains are typically sexist, underestimating the remarkable women who people her books.
