Trust no one.

It's the first and greatest rule Inkwell Featherfield ever learned. It's also the only way he knows how to survive—besides picking pockets, dodging the law, and using every ounce of his plucky charm. But none of this will be enough to save him now.

If only he'd never snooped around a dead man's house. If only he'd never found that pocket watch full of strange magic. If only he'd known the old man had snuffed it at the hands of the ghostly Spektors, or that such dark spirits even existed, because now they're after him.

When Ink is approached by an enigmatic group offering to keep him safe, he accepts—only to discover his rescuers are a band of infamous fugitives. Who knew they had a flair for winemaking? Or a penchant for sing-a-longs?

Thrust into a world of arcane horrors, powerful politicians, and dangers on every side, the boy has no choice but to finally break his rule and decide who to trust. But with all the secrets, magic, and mystery thickening around him—and the stakes so much higher than he ever imagined—it might just be downright impossible.

The Wickwire Watch is the first book of the epic fantasy series The Riverfall Chronicles. For more information, visit jacquelynhagen.com.

Unexpected

At first, I wasn't sure who the MC was until after the first few chapters with Ink. (Note: I didn't read the synopsis before picking up the book. i picked it up because it was in SPFBO and I heard some rave reviews about it.)

Overall, I found the pacing to be a little on the slow side, but when things happen, they HAPPEN. Kind of out of nowhere.

By the time I hit the 90% mark, I knew I wanted to read book 2 (if it existed). By the end, I knew it had been the right call to pick up the next two books.
