Ken Liu: The Clockwork Soldier

Hi everyone

This review is for Ken Liu’s short story ‘The Clockwork Soldier’.
It has 22 pages and you can read it for free, or listen to it on the website of Clarkesworld Magazine.

 “Go,” Alex said. “If you remember to keep a low profile, neither your father nor his enemies will ever find you here.”

I really liked this story.
It’s beautiful and wonderful, I loved the characters and the ending was unexpected.
I would love a bigger story in this world, maybe even with the same characters.

It left me wondering, guessing. I enjoyed it.

4 STARS

Happy reading!
