Review of Clockwork Boys
4 stars
A fun and cute read! However, it was way too short, so I’ll definitely get the second book.

A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Kingfisher’s new novel begins the tale of a murderous band of criminals (and a scholar), thrown together in an attempt to unravel the secret of the Clockwork Boys, mechanical soldiers from a neighboring kingdom that promise ruin to the Dowager’s city.
If they succeed, rewards and pardons await, but that requires a long journey through enemy territory, directly into the capital. It also requires them to refrain from killing each other along the way! At turns darkly comic and touching, The Clocktaur War duology puts together a broken group of people trying to make the most of the rest of their lives as they drive forward on their suicide mission.

A fun read. If you enjoy D&D or humorous adventure stories, this might be one to pick up.

Enjoyable fantasy romp
5 stars
Very easy to read. Was on a train all day and just powered through. Turns out I remember very little from the first time. It's quite funny for a book that is basically set in a war zone.

An introduction to a new and refreshing fantasy world populated with complex characters. I feel like we've only scratched the surface so far, and I'm eager for more.
