I know a lot of stories can be predictable but I found the hints too much in your face. I'd found certain events and relationships between characters to be too predictable which further ruined it when it happened. The story - As the title says, I never actually finished it - it wasn't personally my cup of tea. I also didn't read the blurb as I'm trying to expand my reads and it's easier to try new things if I don't really know what I'm getting myself into.

I'd like to start off with the Narrator who was, in my opinion, awesome. Honestly Didn't Finish It, but it was still okay. This is the stunning first novel in a new trilogy by debut author Tara Sim. Though the boys are drawn together by their loneliness, Danny knows falling in love with a clock spirit is forbidden and means risking everything he's fought to achieve.īut when a series of bombings at nearby towers threaten to Stop more cities, Danny must race to prevent Enfield from becoming the next target, or he'll lose not only his father but the boy he loves - forever. Danny soon discovers why: He is the tower's clock spirit, a mythical being that oversees Enfield's time. And so they assign him to Enfield, a town where the tower seems to be forever plagued with problems.ĭanny's new apprentice both annoys and intrigues him, and though the boy is eager to work, he maintains a secretive distance. Though Danny is a prodigy who can repair not only clockwork but the very fabric of time, his fixation with staging a rescue is quickly becoming a concern to his superiors. It's a truth that 17-year-old clock mechanic Danny Hart knows all too well his father has been trapped in a Stopped town east of London for three years.
