A review by andrewgraphics
Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson

3.0

A young boy leaves his quiet peaceful village on a whim to explore the vast unknown world filled with magnificent clockwork metropolises and hidden cities of gold. Unfortunately he finds himself caught between the Watchmaker, who brings order to the world, and the aptly-named Anarchist.

Based on synopsis and songs by Rush drummer/lyricist Peart, this is a fun little novel in the steampunk genre, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, Peart's tone and cadence as he read this made it seem like he was reading to children, annoying to say the least.
