Why read it?
1 author picked The Clockwork Dynasty as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I went into this book without high expectations because the author was unknown to me, and it surprised me.
I read a lot of thrillers, especially techno- and sci-fi-ish thrillers, and most are fun but meh. I found this one to be really interesting, with a fresh plot idea and captivating historical settings spun together like a kaleidoscope.
It hooked me from the beginning, and then the escalation and intensity wouldnāt let me go.
