1 Star/5
Gray Haward detests the Chemists, the rulers of her small
western town, but she has always taken their potion which helps people survive.
When her best friend, Whit, is punished by the chemists for protecting her,
Gray decides to take risks, but when the chemists find out she retreats to the safe
haven of her grandfather’s shop. However, there she discovers an even greater
secret, a world full of porcelain and clockwork people.
I was very confused by Curio as the world building was not
very good and I had no idea what was going on, but it did seem to have an
interesting story idea. Gray was rebellious against authority, and seemed a
nice and helpful character but I didn’t really connect with her. I am sure that
those who love steampunk novels will enjoy this book but the writing style and
lack of world building put me off this book and I had to DNF Curio at 27%.
