Steen Christiansen reviewed The inexplicables by Cherie Priest (Clockwork century)
Review of 'The inexplicables' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Another good Clockwork Century novel, which unfortunately peters out at the end. Priest has a great setting, engaging characters and a good sense of pacing and drama, but these all come to naught when the characters are on the sideline of the main drama. The book would have benefited from either being longer or being clearer in its focus, in order to avoid the cursory climax we get.
Still, the Blight, the rotters, the walled-up Seattle is an evocative setting that you find nowhere else and remains a sumptuous feast to delve into.
