Summary of the Book
So it starts off that Mecanica is an inventor in the positive side. So the story begins when Mecanica reveals the past so its starts by a ( the royal ) Queen of the town who dies from a illness and soon that illness goes to Mecanicas Mother. Both her parents used to discuss about various stuff like how to raise their child and so basically they had lots of fights. Her mother soon died when Mecanica was 9. Then her Father married another women that will me evil to Mecanica in this Book. And soon when Mecanicas father dies, the Stepsisters and their Mother turn Mecanica into a servant. Her mother was an unique inventor, teaching her daughter all she could before receiving the strange illness. With both her mother and father now dead, Mecanica is left behind to a life of servitude. But on her 16th birthday she discovers her mothers hidden workshop, and meets a tiny metal horse ( Jules) who shows her that she may be able to have a different life ; a life as an inventor and creator of her own choices. But soon when the her stepsister discover her inventions, they decide to destroy them, and so they also smash the tiny metal horse ( Jules) to pieces. As a inventor she soon finds her prince with I won’t mention who it is but she realizes she doesn’t want a fairy tale ending.
“Combines a feminist Cinderella story with a beautiful steampunk world . . .This is a tale about Girl being her own fairy godmother, and the heights to which she can ascend because of it.” —Hypable
Main Characters:
- Mecanica,Caroline and Fin.
- Mecanica is the main Character in this book.
- Caro(Caroline) is a Friend of Finn and Mechanica and this particular Character works in the Castle and lives there as a Prince and soon helps Mecanica in her inventions .
- Fin is a Prince as well and he meets Caro and both became very near by friends.Then he meets Mecanica and falls in faith with her.
How they all met
So how they all met was that Mecanice went to the market to try to sell her things and so she met Caro (short for Caroline) and Fin. Then they all related to each others faces and from one conversation they all soon became Friends . The author wa trying to build up the readers expectations in one path,so the reader has a excitement yet again. Mechanica has a amount of concern for Caro but the way she has trust for Fin is not describable . In the end, the author explores the nature of love, friendship for all these 3 characters.
Other then that, I recommend this Book to anyone who loves fantasy’s, Fairy Tales and anyone with a rebel heart.
This book though ends happily there is no guarantee it will last forever.
