Mechanica
Blurb

When she discovers a secret workshop in the cellar on her sixteenth birthday—and befriends Jules, a tiny magical metal horse—Nicolette starts to imagine a new life for herself.

Determined to invent her own happily-ever-after, Mechanica seeks to wow the prince and eager entrepreneurs alike.

I wasn't too sure what I'd think considering its a sort of Cinderella story, but I was absolutely amazed. I absolutely loved this book, and can't wait to get my hands on the sequel. Definitely a must read for any historical/fantasy lover.
