I've never read anything like this before. Clockworkers is a very good urban fantasy that adds a dark and interesting twist to creatures we often find in fairy tales.Awesome characters. The main character, Sam, is easy to dislike, but I admire her for being ambitious and practical. She knows what she wants and she works to get it. I also like that she's simple and refuses to be dictated by the norms just so she can sell her watches. And the Kith! I love Piv. I like his innocence and childlike nature. He's funny and smart and his elf-logic, though sometimes frustrating, is astonishing. The other Kith are amazing, too. They have different personalities but they're all interesting and talented. Even Hax is a colorful, albeit creepy, character.I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the twists and turns of the story. There was a bit of a slack in the middle but I was really hooked into it that I didn't mind the dull parts that much. It had the right amount of mystery and suspense while sticking to the fantasy genre. There were bits of humor, too, courtesy of the Kith. The different tales about the Kith were rich and nicely delivered. The author did a good job in incorporating these tales to his own story.Clockworkers is an amazing fantasy read. I definitely recommend this book to those who like their fantasy with a dark twist.
