Disclaimer: I received an ARC from the publisher for an honest review.

You know those books that you want to like, but don’t and can’t figure out why? What about those books that are so poorly written you can barely get past the words to read the story? Or maybe you’re aware of those books that start out with such potential and then just fall short of the mark and you’re more disappointed than anything?

Well you’re in luck! Clockwork Menagerie is none of those! I will freely admit that I have not read the first two books in A Shadows of Asphodel series, but I’m rectifying that mistake very soon. I’m not going to say that the novella is 100% stand-alone, because I do think it would have made more sense to me and been even more enjoyable if I had read the preceding books, but I could barely put this book down. I started reading it one evening, passed out while reading (I’m sure you bookworms know that problem), and was almost late to work because I simply had to finish it the next morning.
