character development and international intrigue that really

with a truly golden set of diverse characters." —Lauren James,
author of The Next Together

"Timekeeper is an extraordinary debut, at once familiar and utterly
original. Between its compelling world, its lovely prose, and its
wonderful characters, the pages flew by." —Victoria Schwab, #1 New
York Times bestselling author
"Alive with myth, mystery, and glorious romance, Timekeeper will
keep hearts pounding and pages turning til the stunning conclusion.
Reader beware—there's magic in these pages." —Heidi Heilig, author
of The Girl from Everywhere
"Timekeeper is a triumph. . . . If you read only one such book . .
. let it be this one.” —Bustle
"Timekeeper’s premise is original and its world unique."
—EW.com
"While the world is wildly interesting and fantastic, with broken
clock towers that have left towns frozen in time, it’s the
emotional impact and diverse cast of characters that make this book
soar . . . The resulting story is an exciting and inclusive one,
drawing in elements of magic, mystical spirits, swoon-filled
romance, and just so much more.” —BookRiot
"Part mystery and part romance, this fantasy novel delves into what
it means to grow up and make important decisions. With an easily
relatable main character struggling to fit in, the novel has a
realistic and contemplative voice. VERDICT: A must-have richly
written fantasy novel that will have readers eagerly anticipating
the next volume." —School Library Journal
"Sim creates a cast of complex and diverse characters, as well as a
mythology to explain how the clock towers came to exist . . . an
enjoyable, well-realized tale." —Publishers Weekly
“[M]ystery, LGBTQ romance, and supernatural tale of clock spirits
and sabotage that explores how far people might go for those they
love. Its strongest elements are the time-related mythology and the
supernatural gay romance.” —Booklist
"This LGBTQ steampunk romance sports a killer premise and admirably
thorough worldbuilding, helpfully annotated in the author’s
afterword. The characters—even the bad guys—are sympathetically
drawn and commendably diverse in sexuality and gender." —Kirkus
Reviews
"An enjoyable start to a promising new trilogy." —BookPage
