Day 33: Clockwork Fairies by Cat Rambo
There’s a danger with making your main character a boring jerk – your readers are likely to be bored with the jerk.
In Clockwork Fairies Desiree is a black woman living in steampunky London: an heiress, an inventor, a fiancee to the oh-so-tedious Claude.
She likes to make mechanical things: fairies, cats, a woman to replace her when she’s gone.
I didn’t expect Desiree to end up in Fairie, but I did expect Claude to end up with a clockwork woman.
I found this to be a pleasant, unmemorable story in a genre that I’ve been ready to die for ages now. (So you should clearly take my comments with a grain of salt.)
