Sorry to recommend a book that did not prove to be a pleasant read. Personally I found the clockwork descriptions to be contrived and not very interesting. The way the emotional/interpersonal bits were written were probably the biggest appeal for me.
Also enjoyed her next book "The Bedlam Stacks", its botanical expedition theme made it especially easy for me to connect with it. But thinking about it the female character (actually only one significant one this time) is even less prominent (although more likeable). Overall style very close to The Watchmaker.
