Imagine being at war one minute and the next you’re trapped in a clockwork body, not moving or speaking. Nimira, or Nim, is a performer surviving of pennies but that all changes when Mr. Parry hires Nim to sing with his automaton (clockwork man for lords and ladies. But there are things he forgot to mention. Like why the singers he hired before her ran away in fear of the haunted clockwork man, or who the mysterious dark figure is that roams the halls at night. But Nim is determined to break the clockwork mans curse even if it means getting thrown in prison, or worse, death.
This is the first book in the Magic Under Series. It was compelling and suspenseful because every page you turn makes you want to know more about the mystery and what secrets the characters hold. I loved this book and would give it a 5 out of 5 stars!
I love this review... now I want to read this book! :)
