A review by pulpmonkey66
Mainspring by Jay Lake
5.0
I truly enjoyed this book. I'd been looking for a solid "steampunk" novel for a while and this one was very good. It was nothing like I was expecting when I picked it up. Hethor's travels on his quest to wind the mainspring of the Earth are very interesting and by the end of the novel, we have a very good view of Lake's clockwork Earth.
Additional note: I see that I'm fairly alone in liking this book. I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before picking up the book. That said - reviews are opinions. And honestly, I learned a long time ago that my tastes aren't the same as others. I'm not sure who said it, but "Opinions are like assholes. We've all got one and they all stink."
