From the author of The Clockwork Dagger comes an exciting novella set in the same world…
After being rescued by Octavia Leander from the slums of Caskentia, Rivka Stout is adjusting to her new life in Tamarania. But it’s hard for a blossoming machinist like herself to fit in with proper society, and she’d much rather be tinkering with her tools than at a hoity-toity party any day.
When Rivka stumbles into a laboratory run by the powerful Balthazar Cody, she also discovers a sinister plot involving chimera gremlins and the violent Arena game Warriors. The innocent creatures will end up hurt, or worse, if Rivka doesn’t find a way to stop Mr. Cody. And to do that means she will have to rely on some unexpected new friends.

Rivka makes a fine lead character in this novella. Her self-consciousness (she has a harelip, which draws even more negative attention in fashionable Tamarania, where such disfigurements are correctable, than back in war-scarred Caskentia) is overridden by conscience and determination as she confronts the cruel reality of how august/"innovator" Cody makes behemoth chimeras, and does something about it. Tatiana Garret, with her ambitions and manipulativeness, is an interesting choice for prime confederate, and an apprentice medician torn by what he is ordered to do makes a third. Their solution (well in progress at the tale's end) may be a bit too easily/quickly accomplished, but is believable in principle.SPOILER <SPOILER>It was interesting to hear allusion to, essentially, Black Beauty being combined with the clever theatrical staging of War Horse.</SPOILER>
ETA: I was surprised to realize I was only at 59% when the main story ended. I'm not certain how many pages that is, but a lot fewer than 149! There's an excerpt from The Clockwork Dagger after. At least it didn't cost much. I was trying to figure out how the two short stories could each say 40-50 pages, yet Deep Roots, the collection of all three shorter Clockwork-universe tales, only total about 200 pages. Well, now I know!

Wings of Sorrow and Bone A Clockwork Dagger Novella Clockwork Dagger Novels eBook Beth Cato Reviews
Beth Cato's writing is amazing. I enjoyed this books as much as the first in the series.
I've devoured all of Ms. Cato's books to date and they just keep getting better. She's becoming an automatic purchase author.
Well written with strong characters and a colorful world. I was sad when I realized I was done. Will buy more from the author.
This should be required reading for everyone. Brilliant story.
I am enjoying this genre of books. A little confusing as to the order of the stories but still very enjoyable.
A short novella centering around Rivka & Tatiana, based in Tamarind. Rivka has been delivered to her Grandmother, and is getting used to becoming a part of society - whether she wants to or not. She meets Tatiana Garrett at a party, and both of their lives are changed.
In a way I liked this novella more than the first two full books. No real magic. No war or famine or hordes of people in horrible situations. No one stabbed or shot or thrown out the window of an airship. Two very different young women forming an unlikely partnership that grew into friendship. A job that needed doing and two young women willing to get the job done. A closer look at the kind education of Leaf and Chi . More back story on the chimera and the mechanism. Read it. I don't believe you will regret it.
