“In his ambitious novel, Kirby weaves together a good amount of reliably alluring elements…Kirby twists wisps of mysticism into the clockwork elements, clear-eyed environmentalism into the dour urban grittiness, and a timeless sense of family and friendship into the bold, can-do adventuring…A strong debut effort with memorable characters, hearty action, and palpable atmospherics.”
