Accepted into the sisterhood! Well not without ire and reservations of some. The Clockwork Solution brings us back to Arabella’s story. I feel she holds a lot of cards in her favor as she did previously. This book pretty much picks up where book 1 ended. Disowned but accepted definitely leaves our main character struggling with decisions about her future. Aside from the fact her life is still in danger. Arabella’s mother decides to send her to Ireland so she can update on their famine issues. Dangerous in its own way to witches, Arabella’s mother feels it’s the safest place for her. Which direction does Arabella choose? Is Ireland really the safer bet? You want answers? Well then you have to dig in! I do like this book better than the first book, but anyone who is interested in this story really should read book 1 first.

Sonnier – Review by Beverly Finnie
Arabella has returned and this time she is off on an adventure along with her sister. I was very excited to see a situation we were presented with at the beginning of the first book became the main focus of this book.
The author once again does a great job at create a world where technology and magic must try and work together. However again like the first book I really couldn’t fall in love with it. It’s still a solid story and the characters really help bring it to life but it felt a little slow to me.

Sonnier – Review by Lyndsay withey
I really enjoyed this book. I like reading books that about witches, but this book had a bit of a twist which I found interesting. I have not ever read a book about a witch that had control over technology and I found that intriguing. This book had some adventures and suspense, it also had some laughs and love. If you enjoy stories about witches that have a bit of a twist then I highly recommend this book to you.

This is the second book in the The Clockwork Chronicles. Arabella is a which who has not lived up to the expectations of her family. She is given the task of the investigating a famine that is taking place in Ireland. Someone or something seems to be after her.

This book picks up where book 1 left off. Arabella really grows this book, and it is interesting to see her relationships with her family change and grow as well. I like how insistent Arabella is on standing up for her convictions. I also absolutely love how the blight problem in Ireland is solved, and the hook at the end about where Arabella is going next definitely has me intrigued!

Sonnier – Review by Katrina Evanochko
This is the second book in The Clockwork Chronicles series. Since it leads off directly after the first one, I would suggest reading the first book before this one.
I must say, I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one. The author delves into the concept of the main characters powers more and has the writing is more theirs this time around. More experience went into this book.
We once again follow Arabella, a witch of technomancy, a power no witch has possessed before now. The rest of the witch community is divided. Some see Arabella as hope for the future while others see her as an abomination. Before now, witches and technology did not mix.
In order to protect Arabella from those who wish her harm, her mother sent her and her sister, Rowena, to Ireland to help find a solution to the blight that is affecting crops causing starving families. Witches in the past have tried to no avail. Can Arabella bring a new light to this blight?

I enjoyed this story so much more that the first one (that one I loved as well). Going on this journey with Arabella discovering who she is and growing into an adult is remarkable. The creativity behind the plot, the magic and it’s battle with science is awesome. It took me finishing the book to grasp what was happening on the cover art lol I cannot wait for the next installment to see where France takes our main character. I hope Arabella continues to stand her ground with her mother and allow her uniqueness to grow. I believe she is the balance that the world needs to survive. Without her the witches will die and the mundane will destroy themselves. Fingers crossed the next one will be out soon.

Sonnier – Review by Amber Poole
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and having read book one I was keen to be back with the heroine of the story, Arabella. As the first ever technomancer in a long line of gifted witches Arabella is used to being a disappointment to her family, but she has joined the ‘Sisterhood of Witches’. Arabella has a lot to prove and wants to succeed at her first assignment, although the task has already claimed two lives. She must find the root cause of the famine sweeping through Ireland whilst knowing that both her future and even her life are at risk. The wonderful world building really brought the setting to life making me feel immersed in the story. The storyline is exciting and had me gripped from the start, and the plot twists kept me guessing. I loved Arabella even more in this second book in the series, as her character has developed as she’s grown into her powers. An enjoyable and engaging read, which kept me hooked.

Sonnier – Review by Jennifer Gordon
Arabella Leyden returns and she is finally able to come to terms with her powers of Technomancy, but it still isn’t all smooth sailing for her, since she passed the Trials and became a fully recognised witch, she has constantly faced criticism from others because of her lack of, in their minds, true magical talent. This has not deterred her from following her own patch and finding ways to cope, but some are finally coming round to see it as a possible advantage.
She has only just found a moment to breathe and let her current situation sink in when receives a summons, wherein, she is given her first assignment and it is not an easy one, she has been chosen to travel to Ireland and see if she can find a solution to the famine which is blighting the Isle and lend her help to the witches who reside there. So she soon finds herself having to adapt to a new situation, so she chooses her travel companion and meets the others who will be travelling in their small party, although on the surface it seems quite straightforward, what she learns about past assignments set her ill at ease.
The journey opens Arabella’s eyes about the world around her and how much she doesn’t know, but she is determined to learn as much as she can so that she can be as successful as possible with the assignment, however, with danger lurking around every corner and finding out that previous Sortilege family members have died trying to solve the problem she has also been given, Arabella must stay on her guard while listening to those around her who are also trying to keep her safe from harm.
Will the machinations of those around her lead her to more danger, or will her unique combination of magic and science be the solution to the prayers of many? This is another sci-fi fantasy where secrets abound and discoveries are made, as problems are researched, opinions are heard and options are considered while danger hides in the shadows all around those involved.

The Clockwork Solution ( The Clockwork Chronicles book 2) By Michelle D Sonnier Review by Susan Ratchford 5 stars
After surviving The Trials that almost killed her, Technomancer Arabella Leyden, has finally gotten her greatest desire, to join the sisterhood of witches. The deaths of two witches in the Shortilage line gives her her first assignment, to find the root cause of the famine that’s sweeping through Ireland. As the first ever Technomancer her future and her life is on the line. Will she find a way to blend their old views with her new powers? I love this story! The Technomancer powers that Arabella has are so cool. I also really liked her twist on covens and The Trials that she had to take! Very exciting, great action and suspense! I also really loved the political intrigue of the different councils and of the Investiture itself, it really kept me reading on to find out what happens. Sonnier’s vivid and detailed writing also paints a beautiful picture, that is not in the least bit boring or drawn out. Would definitely read it again!!!

Sonnier – Review by Susan Ratchford
A really good follow-up to the Clockwork Witch, where we get to see Arabella leaning into her powers, and aligning herself with supportive people. Now officially part of the witching world, she learns some of the secrets of the Council, and becomes determined to change some of their more unsavory policies. Her mother makes some halting attempts to reconnect their relationship, and sends her on a mission to Ireland to solve the sticky problem of the famine. Mother doesn’t really expect Arabella to solve much, but underestimating her youngest daughter is never a good idea.
I enjoyed seeing Arabella becoming her own woman and witch. She stands up to those who can’t support her, especially those with the power to hurt her, with grace and determination. Eliza and Sarah were interesting characters as well, and were a nice contrast to Arabella and the world she grew up in.

Sonnier – Review by Erica Shoebridge
In the last book, Arabella finally discovered her magic. As the 7th daughter of a 7th daughter who had never before discovered her magic, she was treated poorly her entire life by everyone she knew – to the point of flat out abuse from her awful mother, the head of the most powerful coven of witches possibly in the world.
In this book, Arabella is joining the Sisterhood of Witches as the first ever technomancer and her first assignment has found her sent to help find a solution to the famine in Ireland. 2 witches from the Sortilege line have already succumbed to the famine, will she be able to use her unique abilities to solve such a huge problem?
While I wish things didn’t end so abruptly, I enjoyed the descriptions and ideas shared in this book like I did the first. It still has me interested in more continuation.

Sonnier – Review by Shea Gilkerson
First thing to come to my mind is that this author really knows how to hook the reader. The first installment spent most of the novel building up its characters and Arabella’s journey to becoming the one she was meant to be all along and creating their world in such a fashion that you feel as though you are right there. Amazing. This second installment, which I also couldn’t put down, is exactly what I look for in a continuation of a story. It transported me into its pages and took me on the adventure of a lifetime. We hear a little bit about Ireland and the Irish witches in the first novel, and now we were able to join Arabella on her adventure to try and help those that have been struggling for so long. Honestly, there’s not much left that this author didn’t cover, and I’ll be honest, all I wanted to do this weekend was finish it, wanting to know what was going to happen.
I absolutely loved the way we see more transpire between Arabella and her sisters, and acquaintances, as well as the new characters that are brought into the story in this installment. No longer is she the little black sheep, but rather, the one that a lot of folks are counting on to better their lives, and technology. She has grown into the person she was always meant to be, and I admire that about her character. The drama and the action and adventure that was incorporated into this thrilling story is immaculately done, and I very much look forward to what happens next. Be aware, the ending is a cliff-hanger! Looking forward to reading more by this author, too.

Sonnier – Review by Amy Brennan
This book was better then book one. I really enjoyed the characters in this story. As in the first book our female main character still needs to prove herself to her family. Is she a witch or an abomination. This read is all about a young witch coming into her power and risking her life to save the world from powers that cannot be controlled. Disease. There are guardians of the witches and they were my favorite. We get to see more of this power that isn’t known to the family. I am still not a huge fan of this story as a whole but I enjoyed the characters and I feel there is character development in the main character. I am looking forward to the next installment of this series. I see where the author is coming from,This is good for introduction to young adult readers. This definitely earned four stars this was very enjoyable.

Is there a third book?! Cliff hanger!!! I am so captivated by Arabella’s story, I need to know what happens next! The trip to Ireland is not what I expected to happen, it was so much better. The storyline touches your heart when the witches see the conditions of the field workers’ families, you really feel for them. But now Arabella’s life may be in danger and you become so connected you have to know what will happen! Very good series so far, I hope there is much more to come.

Arabella discovering her powers and accepting them so quickly but having to convince those around her that her powers are good. I loved the different writing style on this story vs. most other witch stories that focus more on how society treats them rather than their own community and the development of skills. Rowena is my favorite sister, accepting and protecting Arabella at all times. Elizabeth seems to have a back story deeper than what the book leads on. Very well written, can’t wait to read the second book!

Intriguing magical fantasy This is a fast-paced novel with a bit of a twist. This is the second book in the series but the first book I have read by this author. I didn’t feel lost at all but I did have to piece a few things together. With a mix of paranormal, steampunk and fantasy this had me intrigued. The writing is easy to read. It finished rather suddenly and has left me wanting more. I think I’ll go and read book 1 while I await book 3. Recommend.

This is the second book in The Clockwork Chronicles. The book continues the story of Arabella who has the new power of Technomancy, she is basically a witch who’s able to control technology. Arabella has suffered from being thought of by her family as not worthy because her witchcraft didn’t come through as expected. The story is interesting and the author shares Arabella’s world in such a way to make you believe it. There is drama especially from the family, danger as she’s going out on her own, and so much more. Overall, I enjoyed the series and I’m glad I read the books in order.

Steampunk is new to me, and this was my first exploration into the genre. The story itself intertwined Sci-Fi/History/Technomancy which took my imagination outside of the box. I was delighted with all the characters and the world they were built into. This book had drama, mystery, magic, and a unique plot as a whole. The MC Arabella was strong and determined despite the adversity that surrounded her, and she had no doubt in the path she was choosing for herself. This book was an interesting read, and a good introduction to the Steampunk genre.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s the second book in the series, so I’m going to have to go read the first one. The only negative I had was some of the details weren’t as detailed or recapped. Since I haven’t read the first book yet, I don’t know if the details I was looking for are in that one or not. The author definitely had me hooked and the cliffhanger that ends the book is probably one of the best I’ve read in a long while. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series.

Arabella is back in book two of this series. She is being sworn into the witch sisterhood and there are more adventures ahead. Secrets are coming out. Sisters are having break downs. Mom has issues. You really should read this installment: relatable characters with lots of quirks; plot twists abound; and a pretty quick read that will make you smile. Oh and I can’t wait for book 3. Love her cliffhangers. Recommend you push the one-click and give this one a read.

The Clockwork Solution is the second book in The Clockwork Solution. The book is the continuation of the story of Arabella and her magical power of technomancy. I enjoyed this book more than the first and could get into the story more. Though aiming for a YA audience, I think teens and older readers can enjoy this series. The characters have become better developed, which has helped drive the story. However, it did end a bit abruptly, so I hope there is more to this series in the future. I look forward to finding more from this author in the future.

Sonnier – Review by Sheri Schrader
I want to be a bit brutally honest for a moment here because this is a review and well I have an opinion lol… This book was completely nothing what I thought it would be. In fact it was ten times better and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really loved it and want more. I just happen to be one of those weirdos that tend to judge books by their covers and this book, well, it doesn’t do it for me. And it pigeon holes it into a category that won’t snag the group of readers that this book needs to snag because it is that good. It needs a bright beautiful steampunk, catch your eye cover. The adventures inside don’t match the little house on the prairie on the cover.
With that I feel better and this book was amazing. If steampunk adventure fantasy reads are your thing, this book will blow your mind. I was whisked away to this new world of adventure with Arabella and I am super excited to find out more with future books! This is a new author to me and I really love how she writes with such vigor and passion, it really shows in the story and character development. The side characters are just as fun as the main ones. I will definitely be back for more and look forward to sharing this one with my teenagers.

Sonnier–Review by Jerricka Brown
The Clockwork Solution is the second book in The Clockwork Chronicles. It is a steampunk fantasy about a young witch whose unique power, Technomancy, puts her at the forefront of a changing world of both magic and technology. This series will delight young adult and older readers who enjoy the intersection between magic and tech, and stories with a historical setting. In this second book, Arabella is sent to Ireland to see if there is anything her family – both witches and “mundane” relatives – can do to help reduce the impact of the famine. But witches, blamed by many for the famine, are not welcome in Ireland. And there is no guarantee that the forces threatening her in London won’t have followed her across the Irish Sea. I particularly liked Eliza and Sarah, the Guardians who accompany Arabella and her sister, Rowena, on their journey. Both powerful and experienced, they have strong personalities which at times are in conflict but at others provide a balanced and thorough approach. This book gets five stars from me, and I can’t wait to see how Arabella’s next adventure turns out. I would recommend readers start with the first book in the series, The Clockwork Witch, to get to know the characters and the wonderful world portrayed in the books.

Sonnier – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew me away on her storytelling. This is the second book from the clockwork chronicles. I read this book as a stand alone but now I need to read the first book to get the story better. I was hooked on that story right away and I could not put it down. It only took me a little over a day to devour this addictive story.
Arabella Layden was not loved by her family. They treated her like a burden instead. She is so excited when the time has come when she could go on her own. Arabella leaves her home to chase her dream of becoming a witch. She is shocked when she gets her wish but not in the normal way. Arabella is now assigned to find out why the famine is sweeping through Ireland. She needs to be very careful because this assignment has already claimed two other witches. Will Arabella be able to figure out the problem or will it be too dangerous for her?

Sonnier – Review by Heather Bass
As a sequel, this book is much better than its predecessor. Readers are introduced to more of the protagonist’s family members. We glimpse into a marriage between two people who love one another, but cannot dwell together. We meet characters from all walks of life. Readers are exposed to prejudices and discriminations. This book begins to definitively answer the question: Can magic and science work together in harmony for the good of all mankind?

Sonnier – Review by Alison Risher
This book picks right up where the first book, “The Clockwork Witch” ended. If you haven’t read the first book do so before reading this one as everything will make far more sense!
After having successfully passed the witch trials Arabella thinks that she is protected by the sisterhood of witches but quickly finds out that is not the case. Now she must face the dangers that are coming from every corner all while deciding which house she wants to choose to align with. Fraught with uncertainty of the future after declaring technomancer as her chosen skill, Arabella receives her first task as a witch with hopes she’ll be more protected in another country. With her unheard of skills Arabella hopes to help cure the blight that threatens families in Ireland but unfortunately they are unwelcoming of witches. Can Arabella figure out what is causing the blight of the potatoes with her powers or is this simply to keep her occupied and out of harm’s way? What of her budding romance can it survive not only meeting family but staying under the same roof? More questions that answers arise as Arabella tries to solve the blight in Ireland but is there a connection between past circumstances and present situations?
This book was a wonderful sequel to the first book. Written with such care to character development and situations that allow the reader to feel a part of the story. I cried and I laughed and now I must mourn because I finished it and await to see if another book in the series will be forthcoming.

Sonnier – Review by Vanessa Watts
Clockwork Solution is an interesting story with a strong young witch who wants to not only do the right thing but also prove herself. Arabella has a strange magic technomancy that no one has really seen before and she is determined to prove her magic is just as strong as anyone else’s. Having been shipped off for her “protection” to investigate an issue that no one else seems to be to able to solve Arabella is thrust into a dangerous mystery that pushes her to her limits both magical and emotional. A great read and I would highly recommend reading this series.

Sonnier – Review by Cathy Greene
I really enjoyed this story. It is the second book in The Clockwork Chronicles Series. Even though I haven’t read the first story I still really enjoyed this book and I was able to follow the story without a problem. I love Arabella’s character. She is so determined to make changes that even when things seem against her she is determined to push through. This is a story about Arabella. She is a witch who’s magical gift is technomancy. After being bound as a witch she is sent on an assignment to Ireland to figure out why there is a famine. And this is where the story really gets fun as Arabella has to overcome lots of dangers that are stopping her getting the answers she needs. Knowing that 2 witches before her have lost their life on this quest Arabella knows hers is at risk as well.
This is a story filled with magic, danger and twists and turns that keeps you guessing. This book also ends leaving you wanting more. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
