The protesters regularly cause trouble throughout the novel, but their reasons for protesting are. But the whole thing seemed like an ill-conceived plot point used to throw some drama into the mix. What the book does focus on is a lot of protests from the general public against clock towers and clock mechanics. The manipulation and fracturing of time is interesting, and yet the book actually spent very little time on that. As I said, mechanics are not really my thing. The prose is forgettable and the plot wanders aimlessly for a lot of the book, making it really hard to keep turning pages. The world is creative, for sure, but I just couldn't find interest in it. Danny soon finds himself falling for the spirit of the tower in a whirlwind LGBT romance. Suffering from anxiety and haunted by the memory of his father who was trapped in a time-Stopped city, Danny tries to fulfill his job at Colton Tower. It's a Victorian steampunk universe where the ties between physical clock towers and actual time are inextricable - when two o'clock goes missing from Colton Tower, time itself is disrupted.ĭanny Hart is a clock mechanic, a timekeeper, someone with the ability to feel and manipulate time. I am obviously just not that interested in clocks and mechanics.
