While I liked that Roger was no longer the typical mad scientist, plenty others took his place, and the plot twist regarding him was too sudden a u-turn to be good. It had a lot less of the whimsy that the first book had, and the characters seemed suddenly a little less deep and a little more archetypal. I’m going to try to be quite brief with this review: I didn’t like this book as much as I liked Machines of the Little People. Then, after three miserable lonely years, the unthinkable, a second chance… Warwick. It was the last time I believed in magic, in love or in the existence of God. Kate died that afternoon and I never thought about it again. On that day, all three of us made a silent wish, certain the others had wished the same. The last time we used the wishing stone was at the hospital the morning she died. During that last summer, as if in punishment for being happy, Kate was diagnosed with cervical cancer. ![]()
