‘So what are you going to do,’ he said. ‘Kill me again, Yvo?’
Two centuries ago Yvo killed his secret lover, Tielo. Yvo died for his crime but the Steel City wastes nothing. He and Tielo were brought back — re-animated — re-used.
Every fifty years Tielo summons Yvo to an ancient bell tower. Tielo has the right to rewind Yvo’s clockwork heart and condemn him to serve his family for another cycle of the Carillon. Yvo has one compelling reason to live — little Rein, fifth descendant of his child has disappeared and Yvo must find him. But how can he ask the lover he betrayed to help him? And what if Tielo decides that this time he will let Yvo die?

upside: interesting premise, new author.
downside: 2 missing commas in the blurb—and silver publishing.
yes, that silver publishing. author- and reader-abusing fucktards extraordinaire.
tough call.

3.75 stars rounded up to encourage the author. Very engaging premise and characters, intriguing universe, a previously tragic love story which eventually reaches a happier and more hopeful note - everything delivered in a subtle writing style. I enjoyed this short story to a large extent despite the length (rarely do I venture into such territory because I tend to not like short stories due to their rushed pace and development). Even so, I must add that I would have loved a more extensive plot, at least in terms of the climax and ending which were too brief to solve the already well built tensions. I am looking forward to a longer book!
