A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It's not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Kingfisher's new novel begins the tale of a murderous band of criminals (and a scholar), thrown together in an attempt to unravel the secret of the Clockwork Boys, mechanical soldiers from a neighboring kingdom that promise ruin to the Dowager's city.

If they succeed, rewards and pardons await, but that requires a long journey through enemy territory, directly into the capital. It also requires them to refrain from killing each other along the way! At turns darkly comic and touching, Clockwork Boys puts together a broken group of people trying to make the most of the rest of their lives as they drive forward on their suicide mission.

This is one of those annoying series’ where you basically have one large book split into two, so this one ends in the middle of the story without finishing much. There are some character arcs for sure, but the meat of the action appears to be in the next book. Mostly this is a story of a journey with a bunch of fun little scenes/encounters along the road as this group gets to know each other…and much of the situational humor is laugh out loud funny. I’ll need to listen to the Wonder Engine to comment more.

Fun listen but this book is only the first half of the story

I thought the story was interesting enough. I’m still listening to the second book and I liked the Paladin series, but the writing seems less mature in this book and I do not enjoy this narrator- though tolerable

Interesting story, writing and narration lacking
