This review is something of a departure for this blog, because The Clockwork Giant and its sequel, Le Theatre Mechanique, are not fantasy properly so called; they are young-adult steampunk, classic variety, set in Victorian England, with no magic, quasi-humans, deities or devils or superbeings, or fantasy elements generally involved. I'm doing this because I loved the first book, but there's also a certain amount of crossover in the sense of wonder elicited by the splendid mechanical devices involved in the story.
An interesting review of a steampunk novel.
