I found this title for the “science fantasy” prompt in the Queer Lit Readathon. I guess I assume that science fiction and fantasy genres always overlap, but I’m realizing that’s not necessarily so! Definitely lots of steampunk vibes in this one, where clockwork hearts keep people alive but are also outlawed. I really grew  to care for our three main characters, and I like novels where we get to jump between perspectives in each chapter. I enjoyed seeing the same event through different lenses, as well as watching the relationships unfold. I could have maybe used more exposition, and I would have liked more world building. But I’m also not the kind of fantasy reader that needs every potential plot hole to be filled! I had a fun ride with these characters, and that’s enough for me.
