Reseña del libro "Clockwork Twist: Time (en Inglés)"
This is the tenth book of 12, in a long series of steampunk adventure books. Set in a magical fantasy version of the Victorian era, the Clockwork Twist series follows an unassuming and introverted clockmaker from London, named Twist. When a clockwork princess needs his help, Twist find himself on an adventures around the world surrounded by airship pirates, secret societies, treasure hunters, vampires, dragons, magical kitsune, and even a genie or two. Are you all caught up? Jonas warned Twist that he would meet his father someday, and that day has finally arrived. Meeting the man, however, was only the first surprise. Now Twist might have a chance to bring his mother back to life, as well. Twist grew up thinking that he was a forgotten and abandoned orphan. If his parents had wanted him, surely they would have kept him. Twist told himself that they both must be long dead, to save himself from farther pain. That, however, was all an illusion specially designed to protect him from evil fairies that wanted his ruin. His mother gave her life to protect Twist, and his father hid him away only because he had no other choice. When Twist's fate catches up to him unexpectedly, he finds himself face to face with the father who abandoned him, and to Twist's shock he finds nothing but remorse in the other man. More than simply wishing that things had been different, that he could have kept and raised Twist himself, Twist's father tells him that he's been working for years to build a time machine with the express intent to bring Twist's mother back from death. Dabbling in the fabric of time, however, is not very straight forward. In preparation to reach into the past and steal Twist's mother away to the present, he accidentally brings an unknown man from the far away future of 1946, into the streets of present day London. Now Twist and his friends have to travel to his father's hidden time machine to set things right.
