“You made a human being. And humans are, by nature, monstrous.”
Set in Geneva
in 1818, Alasdair Finch is part of the Shadow Boys who are illegal mechanics
that make men from clockwork parts. It seems Alasdair has lost everything he
has cared about; his brother Oliver, his love, and his passion to do anything
anymore. But when Alasdair successfully brings Oliver back to life, things
start to go horribly wrong for him, and he is left to decide something that
could make him lose everything he’s cared about again.
I
really liked this book so I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I loved that it was set
in the Victorian era. Most of all, I loved the character development in this
book. Lee also has amazing writing and it makes you want to just keep reading
and reading. It was a little hard not to get emotional at some parts because
the author really makes the capability of feeling the character’s pain and
happiness and anger possible. That’s definitely not an easy thing to do. All in all, I really liked this book and would
recommend it to anyone.

This book looks really good!! I think I might need to read it.
This book sound very interesting and intense. The way you describe it makes it sound like it's set in a very old time. Can you please explain the Victorian era so people can understand it.
