Twist wasn't the only one who wanted to find the clockwork princess. Having finally rescued Myra from obscurity and ruin, Twist and Jonas must now flee Bombay and return to Europe in a desperate attempt to secure her freedom.

Continuing the story of Clockwork Twist, "Book Two: Trick," follows the unassuming clockmaker and his companions as they are pursued across the globe by a mysterious and shadowy society of technology thieves. The Rooks would stop at nothing to posses Myra and all of her clockwork secrets.

Join Twist once again as he encounters wonders and absurdity beyond anything he could imagine, in this exciting steampunk adventure. Travel with him across the Arabian Sea, through Egypt, and back into Europe by airship, steam train, and sailing ship. Meet a whole new cast of characters, and re-encounter old friends and enemies, as Twist struggles to retain some semblance of sanity in his bizarre new lifestyle.

The intrepid three are joined along the way by magical beings of both human and mythical natures, underground kidnappers, notable inventors, and a safari enthusiast. But friends can only do so much to aid them. In the end it’s up to Twist and Jonas to protect their princess and all of their hopes of having a future together.

5.0 out of 5 stars The continuing adventures of Twist & co.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2014

The second novel in Emily Thompson's Clockwork Twist series sees Twist, Jonas and Myra embark on further adventures picking up where the previous book left off. Again visiting countries not so often featured in steampunk (though given the focus on clockwork, might this technically be termed cogpunk?), this second book further widens the scope of Twist's world introducing some new allies and antagonists, most notably the debonair Jefferey Simian, Esq., in addition to the return of some old faces from the first volume. The nature of Twist and Jonas's Sight is explored and enough threads are teased out to have me eagerly awaiting the next volume. Recommended for all those looking to explore the more whimsical side of the genre.

I've read all 12 books and your characters reached my heart. They are truly memorable. This from a person who typically reads up to 200 books a year. There are few really wonderful books and your series is on. So many books have a few plot lines and then base. The rest on just the early ideas but your keep and build the interest and stories continually. Never a dull moment. Never falling back on the old story. You build wonderful stories that continue to take care of the readers curiosity and satisfy all the questions. You never failed. The sensitivity and exploration of each character where drawn out and made real. An absolute delight, fascinating, creative, original. 12 books and loved every one.

I enjoyed the first book in the series, but didn't rate it as well. I think there was just too much too fast in the first book. This one seemed to have a more fluid pace. Can't wait to see what happens to our trio in the next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another awesome novel by Emily Thompson
Reviewed in the United States on 5 March 2014

Twist is embroiled in yet another fabulous adventure in this sequel to Clockwork Twist, Waking. This time, Myra, the clockwork princess, is being hunted by a faction of technology thieves, known as the Rooks, who have their own reasons for collecting her. Twist and Jonas realize that their only hope of saving her is to convince the Rooks that she is of no worldly use to them.

The details in this story are so palpable, I could almost smell the Shawarma. The many lusciously described, exotic places Twist and his friends find themselves in made me want for nothing more than to linger within the pages of this book. I literally could not put this book down.

Whether you're a fan of the Steampunk genre, or you're just looking for a really good read, you'll be delighted with captivating adventure novel.
