1888. Five years after they met in The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, Thaniel Steepleton, an unassuming translator, and Keita Mori, the watchmaker who remembers the future, are traveling to Japan. Thaniel has received an unexpected posting to the British legation in Tokyo, and Mori has business that is taking him to Yokohama. Thaniel's brief is odd: the legation staff have been seeing ghosts, and Thaniel's first task is to find out what's really going on. But while staying with Mori, he starts to experience ghostly happenings himself. For reasons Mori won't--or can't--share, he is frightened. Then he vanishes. Meanwhile, something strange is happening in a frozen labor camp in Northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow, an old friend of Mori's, must investigate. As the weather turns bizarrely electrical and ghosts haunt the country from Tokyo to Aokigahara forest, Thaniel grows convinced that it all has something to do with Mori's disappearance--and that Mori may be in serious danger.--… (mere)

A beatiful ending to the story of Thaniel and Mori. Though it was a slow read for me, the story was interesting. The middle part was sometimes a bit frustrating because I had no idea about where the story was going. It was worth it though. ( )

Its a well crafted book with an interesting premise, but I was left a bit wanting more. I think I wanted to see more of the relationship between Thaniel and Mori and how Six fit into all this. I liked the premise of ghosts and free electricity. However, I felt Karuda to be a bit ham fisted in his approach. Mrs. Pepperharrow, Mori's Wife in Japan, should have been a more rounded.

I'm glad I read it and I really enjoyed the last chapter, but the book left me wanting more. ( )

Satisfying conclusion. Really expands on how it can affect a person whose every decision turns into The Trolley Problem.

Thaniel is precious; I want to keep him and Mori safe form all the ills of the world. ( )

I've become a real fan of Natasha Pulley's writing, and this book added to my appreciation.
Her stories are what might be called 'light fantasy' - not quite limited to reality, but no witches and dragons.
The writing is so clear and flowing - there's never a clunky sentence and the author's meaning and intent glows in the text.
Most of her books seem to include a gay male relationship among the characters - not my usual territory, and not what I look for in a book, but probably a necessary education for this aging hetero male.
I hope she continues to produce these wonderful books. ( )

Dit boek begint erg veelbelovend maar al gauw wordt het tamelijk vreemd om te volgen. Dat komt doordat het concept van helderziendheid voor mij best moeilijk was en dat is wat Keita Mori kan. Hij ziet alle mogelijkheden van een keuze en ver daar voorbij. Dus alle mogelijkheden van alle mogelijkheden. Nathaniel Steepleton heeft ook een talent. Hij hoort alle geluid met een kleur daarbij. Als deze twee bijzondere mannen, die als terloops een relatie hebben, bij elkaar komen zorgt dat voor een paar voorvallen die de geschiedenis kunnen veranderen. Ik denk dat jullie allemaal wel snappen dat ik niet teveel kan vertellen omdat dat spoilers met zich meebrengt. Wel raad ik iedereen het volgende aan: Als je dit boek wilt lezen, zorg dan dat je dat in een rustige tijd doet waarin je tijd genoeg hebt om behoorlijke stukken per keer te kunnen lezen en je de draad niet steeds opnieuw op hoeft te pakken. Dat heb ik niet gedaan en dat neemt een hele hoop begrip voor het verhaal en plezier in het boek weg. ( )
