Paper Tigers

When I read the first book, Clockwork City, some time ago I thought it was a very charming graphic novel, quite unlike anything I’d read before. That’s why I was extremely curious and loaded with great expectations when I started this second book. However, it didn’t live up to my expectations.

When Bauble is discovered; Orio and Bauble have to flee Cobble, the city they arrived in in the first book.

While the artwork is really special and in a way something I really liked, the story couldn’t impress me. There is not a lot of text in the novel, so the story should have been very clear and good to keep one interested. I’m not sure what to think of it after finishing…

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
