I absolutely loved this, big fan of fairytale retelling and this was so unusual, kind of steampunk.
Sophie is led into the forest and under orders slaughtered by her stepmother's huntsman.
This should be it, game over but Sophie wakes up, she now has a clockwork heart but there is a snag.
It only has a limited lifespan and her heartbeats are running out quickly!
Sophie sets out on a quest to find her real heart and save the kingdom from the wicked queen.
But dark forces are gathering and the throne and Sophie are in terrible danger.
Can she find her heart and get rid of her evil stepmother in time?
This was a richly gothic and quite dark fantasy almost verging on the point of horror and supernatural.
It was a great read and will definitely appeal to audiences of both fantasy and fairytale retelling as this was a real good effort to the ranks of the genre.
