This book made me sad, made me laugh , made me cry and made me hope.

I started of hating the main character which normally puts me off a book. And I was in the beginning but everyone else was able to pull me into the story. I ended up not loving,  but at least liking Wallace Price.

This book follows the same book tropes I have read in other steampunk/romance books.
---------------- Alert, spoiler for those who have not read " The Watchmaker's Daughter "-------------


 Girl from lower class meets rich boy from high society. They fall in love but should not be together for reasons. Girl has some magic powers/abilities in addition to being a bad ass and being witty . They search for magic objects with the help of a roge group of friends. 

But, even with an easy to guess plot, I still really enjoyed myself. Its just a quick and fun read.
