Book description
Forget everything you thought you knew about clockwork. The Wonder Engine isn't just a sequel-it's the heart-pounding, laugh-out-loud continuation of Slate, Brenner, Caliban, and Learned Edmund's chaotic journey. Arriving in the enigmatic Anuket City, the source of the Clockwork Boys, they've finally built a fragile trust... but it's built on quicksand. Every decision they make, every secret they guard, could shatter them before the city even reveals its true dangers.
What makes this audiobook brilliant? It's the people. Kingfisher's genius shines as the narrative never lets you forget these wildly mismatched souls-each broken, hilarious, and utterly human-struggling to hold it together. The voice actors breathe life into their banter, the quiet moments of vulnerability, and the sheer panic of nearly getting crushed by a rogue clockwork golem. You'll feel their exhaustion, their reluctant camaraderie, and the terrifying weight of old choices chasing them through Anuket's shadowed streets.
The action is relentless-mechanical horrors, political traps, and foes from their past closing in-but it's never just about the fight. It's about whether this ragtag team can truly see each other before the city's secrets consume them. Kingfisher masterfully balances high-stakes chaos with intimate character moments, reminding us that finding meaning in the mess-no matter how many gears you shatter-is the real victory.
This isn't just a thrilling sci-fi adventure; it's a love letter to found family, flawed heroes, and the stubborn hope that even the most broken things can be repaired. You'll race through the audiobook, not just for the next explosion, but to hear Brenner's snark, Caliban's quiet strength, and Slate's desperate optimism. Trust us: you'll be quoting their dialogue weeks later. A perfect blend of heart, humor, and heart-stopping momentum. Don't just listen-lean in.
