2. A few

Finishing up the latest Amos Decker novel from David Baldacci. It’s okay.

I’m also finishing up The Watchmaker of filigree street by Natasha pulley. I wanted to like this book, and I may even try the next one in the series, but I can’t follow it. The watchmaker, Keita Mori,is a Japanese nobleman. Maybe. He might be immortal, or he might be a time traveler. He seems to anticipate the future, or he predicts it, or he creates it. I don’t know.

One of the other main characters, Thaniel, may or may not be in a relationship with the watchmaker. If anybody has read this, feel free to lay it all out for me because I’m confused. I like the settings, I like most of the characters, the part of the story I can follow is entertaining enough. But I can’t quite figure out what the writer is trying to accomplish.
