[BWF] Clockwork Heart by Dru Pagliassotti ★★★

[Tien]

Interesting world full of engines, flying things, and etiquettes with society divided into castes. What I enjoyed most, however, is the grumpy x sunshine trope; I don't know why grumpiness can be so cute in fiction though I guess it's all about context and we can all pretend it's just a prented-grumpiness.

Taya Icarus as FMC is very easily likeable (who doesn't like sunshine!) though she appears to be quite innocent. Cristof Forlore ran away from his dark family past though not far so he has a reason to be grumpy... the beginning was a bit shaky but made it all the more interesting later.

The mystery was a little convoluted, I thought, even if it ends rather well. There is a couple of more books though so far, I think, I'm not in a rush to read them.
