Bloomsbury presents The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley, read by Thomas Judd.

Escape into the enchanting world of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. This extraordinary sequel transports readers to Japan, where time, destiny and love collide to electrifying effect

'A Japan that never was, a future lost, ghosts that are not dead ... not even a partial list of ingredients can do justice to this wonderful cake of a book ... A time-defying thriller' ROBIN HOBB

For Thaniel Steepleton, an unexpected posting to Tokyo can’t come at a better moment. The London fog has made him ill and doctor’s orders are to get out.

His brief is strange: the staff at the British Legation have been seeing ghosts, and his first task is to find out what’s going on. But staying with his closest friend Keita Mori in Yokohama, Thaniel starts to experience ghostly happenings himself. For reasons he won’t say, Mori is frightened. Then he vanishes.

Meanwhile, something strange is happening in a frozen labour camp in northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow, an old friend of Mori’s, must investigate.

As ghosts appear across Tokyo and the weather turns bizarrely electrical, Thaniel grows convinced that it all has something to do with Mori’s disappearance – and that Mori might be in far more trouble than any of them first thought.

love it!

such an amazing story. the world building is top notch! the world i so magical and lovely. the characters complex and enigmatic. i love love love Thaniel, Mori, and Six!

I love this book

Terrific read, great follow up to The Watchmaker of Filigree street . Fast paced an unpredictable

Impatiently waiting for more

While this does not live up to the greatness of the first book it was a decent sequel. I would’ve liked more about Katsu (clockwork octopus) and more of Thaniel and Mori together. I hope there will be more to come!

This destoryed my heart in the best way!

Have you ever finished a book and it gives you whiplash? You are all immersed in it, you're ride or die with the characters, plot, and writing style, and then it ends and you feel like you went from 70mph to hitting a tree and the airbags just hit you in the gut and you're laying there confused about what to do now in life?

Yeah that was me with this one.

The Lost Future of Pepperharrow has all the mystery and eerie magical realism that Pulley's other books do. I think out of all of them Pepperharrow is the weirdest, but that's what I love about it. Her character's are alway 3-dimensional and I always end up loving them, even the ones I think I'll hate forever. She has an unique style of writing where I am unable to really go into detail about her books without making it feel like I am spoiling the whole story. Everything ties together so well that just picking at one piece doesn't do the story justice.

I will forever love Thaniel, Keita, Six, and Katsu. I wish there was a book three, but I can't imagine after all that happened in this that there will be.

a fantastic sequel to an already gripping story

Natasha pulley pulls no punches! a fantastic sequel to an already GRIPPING first book. I also enjoyed learning from the historical note that Kuroda was a real person and that Pulley spent the whole book just clowning on him. Have you ever screwed up as a politician and person so badly that 140 years later an English lady invents three OCs to put you in the ground??

brilliant!

I seldom get drawn into a book the way I was pulled into this trilogy. this final volume was brilliant, moving and suspenseful in a very gentle way.

Unconditional love

So much of this book was fantastic. The history, magic, mystery…. One thing that really stood out for me was Steepelton’s total belief in and unconditional love for Mori even when things seemed to be trying to persuade him otherwise. I have become a huge fan of this author. Her prose is absolutely beautiful!

A brilliant sequel to Watchmaker

Ugh, i just love Natasha Pulley. Do yourself a favor and read all of their books, they are glorious

So Satisfying!

I really really enjoyed this book--it's a follow up to Watchmaker of Filigree Street (also great), but I think it could stand on its own. It's so easy to care about these characters that even if you're meeting them for the first time you'll be sucked in. I love the way this world does steampunk/sci-fi, very different from other kinds of historical science fiction I've encountered (although, granted, I'm just beginning to dip my toes into the genre). Great reader--kept the characters distinguishable and made the world believable.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

buy this book.

pulley is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. wonderful story i really can't recommend this enough. love this series very much!
