A review by kellbells
The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove

3.0

A solid book with some of the most creative and ambitious world-building I've read in a while (Guillermo del Toro would be perfect for a movie adaptation). That said, the Mark of the Vine/Mark of Iron and a few other outright "magical" plot points felt out of place in a steampunk-y alternate history, and I didn't understand how the different Ages/time periods worked as well as I should have. Hopefully more will be fleshed out in sequels.
