Sorting

by Anna Lynn Hammar

Everyone knew of Tinker and Tinker knew of everyone. That was her life in the Downtrotten. Peace was her main goal and trouble was kept out of her section of Romulus. Filled with information of others, life was easy, and her business booming. That was, until Detective Silas Walker came to town. Hell bent on figuring out who kept the criminals under wraps, Tinker and Silas began an unlikely alliance to catch a larger criminal that threatened all their city. Between magic, their strange new friendship, and connections of strangers, Silas uncovers secrets of his own. Ones that would be dangerous to reveal to anyone but the Secret Keeper herself.
Can the two find common ground that will allow them to work together, or do their worlds clash too much?

Thank you, Anna Lynn Hammar, for the ARC!

Tinker is a solid character who is strong and incredibly intriguing, and the plot is good, but the timeline of the story feels incredibly rushed. This book needed to be two times longer to really appreciate all it has to offer, especially the relationship between Tinker and Silas, and the many side characters who I would have loved to see be explored more in depth.

Hot damn!!!!! This book is on fire!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Tinker Morris is a legendary Bad A$$. She's smart, creative and cunning. She knows what she wants and she takes it.

Anna has really out done herself once again. Telling the pretale of how the sorting began. I love the overall vibes and the steampunk theme.

Loved the concept of this book, it has potential for so much more. The protagonist is a badass and I wanted more grit and details of her life. I feel like she fell too fast for the love interest with her background but it was still satisfying. Overall a solid read.

I have loved this series since the beginning. And now having the WHOLE beginning makes it so much better. You can't help but fall in love with the characters and feeling their emotions through the whole thing. Anna... You've done it again girl!
