Legacy of the Clockwork Key (The Secret Order) de Kristin Bailey

The curious, lovely cover made me buy this book. The compelling fantasy drew me in and held me spellbound to the end.

This sequel focuses on two siblings who have been adopted by a Fairy Queen into another realm. One night, the young sibling, Wynn, is tricked into leaving the safety of the fairies and goes outside the protection of the fairies and is hunted by the antagonist Grendel and his allies. Once Wynn’s brother, Elric figures out she has been lost, he fights to find his sister in the Nightfell Wood.

The Silver Gate de Kristin Bailey

Elric was not a very likable character. He treated his sister, Wynn, with impatience and a lack of understanding. (The author's note at the beginning of the book explains that Wynn has developmental challenges due to Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome.) And, although Ms. Bailey tries very hard not to make it so, Wynn comes across as a "magical idiot". The ending could have been amazing had Bailey left it ambiguous, but, instead, she gave it a Happily Ever After and a forced set-up for a sequel.

Shadow of the War Machine (The Secret Order) de Kristin Bailey

This is the third and final book in the Secret Order series by Bailey. This book did a fantastic job of wrapping up this series. I really enjoyed both the series and the conclusion a lot. This has been a wonderful YA steampunk series.

Meg is still training to be an Amusementist and still being hunted by the man with the clockwork face. However she is sick of running. She wants to find her grandfather and solve the mystery behind the man with the clockwork face once and for all. Then Will shows up for one of Oliver’s invention unveilings and he offers his help. Meg is so happy to be able to spend time with Will and they end up on the adventure of a lifetime as they follows clues that lead both to the man with the clockwork face and to Meg’s long lost grandfather.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. There are so many awesome steampunk inventions in these books and they are so interesting.

I also really love the characters. Meg is an awesome heroine; she is still a lady but she is also tough and determined and smart. I really enjoy reading about her as a character. This is a good book for her; she goes through a lot but she has the support of friends to back her up.

Will is in this book a lot more and he has grown a lot as a character. I think him and Meg are great together. I also really respect how they love each other, but have both realized they need to grow up and be stable in their own professions and lives before making a life together. They are smart and make good decisions and are great role models.

The plot is very well done with some interesting twists and turns and the story is wrapped up nicely. There is an Epilogue where you see where all the characters are later in life which I really enjoyed.

Overall a spectacular conclusion to this amazing YA steampunk series. I really enjoyed this series and this book a lot. This book wraps up the story nicely and is full of wonderful steampunk contraptions, engaging characters, adventure, invention, mystery, and some romance. I would highly recommend this whole series to all the steampunk fans out there!… (més)
