In The Inventor’s Secret, Andrea Cremer reinvented history with her steampunk version of America, as if the British had won the Revolutionary War. The novel was dark and twisted, and the setting was an intriguing mix of the industrialized floating city of New York with the wilds of the city’s outskirts.
The second book in the series, The Conjurer’s Riddle, is now out, and it does not disappoint. Our cast of characters is in the thick of trying to escape the Empire, and find their way to the Resistance, as they travel north to a neutral hub in Albany.
