Rejoin the adventure in Lake's "Clockwork Earth". Paolina Barthes, young sorceress, is crossing the Equatorial Wall, attempting to take herself and her magic away from the grasp of powerful men in the empires of the north. Emily Childress is still aboard the renegade Chinese submarine, along with her devoted Captain and the British chief petty officer, Angus al-Wazir. They are all being sought most urgently by the powers that secretly rule the Northern Earth - the Silent Order and the White Birds. A third power, of the Southern Earth, has its eye on Paolina; she will not be allowed to bring the political turmoil of the North into the more mystical South.

As Above; So Below

This is a wonderfully complex conclusion to what I refer to as the Clockwork Earth series. What I liked most about this novel is how the major changes occuring in the clockwork setting are mirrored in minds of Paulina and Boaz. What is depicted is the coming together of faith and reason and also the incorperation of free- will into a previously deterministic reality. And also, there is a wonderful metaphor of the "Golden Bridge," being like the connection between the right and left hemisphere of the brain; with the right being the Southern Earth and the left being the Northern Earth. There is also a strong suggestion of pantheism with the Mind of God being divided between the Silent World of the Southern Earth and the Judeo-Christion God of the Northern Earth.
I especially liked Boaz, who reminds me of Star-trek's Data. I was fascinated by this clockwork automaton's mental transformation from machine to human, which closely reflects the Clock-work Earth's transformation to a more free-willed and blended state. This, in my mind, makes this series similar in theme to the Veil trilogy by Christopher Golden. In that series, there is also a few characters whose transformations parallel the transformation of the setting; and the coming together of magic and reason.
The book's characters and setting was so good that I was disappionted when it was over.

deeply satisfying and thought provoking

Having just finished Pinion, I sit here feeling the reverberations of an epic tale, threads of feeling and memory excited by the story but vibrating in my life.
Acceptance of the arcane world envisioned in Jay Lake's trilogy happened for me almost without notice. Love and loyalty, duty and courage, fear and resolve are themes central to human experience. Magic and a clockwork universe become accepted vehicles for an interplay of human potential one can recognise and rejoice in as both possible and of great worth.
If feelings are a legitimate compass with which to chart our course,Pinion and its predecessors are on a path running true north.

Great 3rd installment

I've been looking for this latest (last?) installment of Lake's Clockwork Universe series for quite some time as my local bookstore never did get it (though they keep Mainspring and Escapement stocked) ... The hardest part with reading this one is trying to remember what has gone before, but the story and writing is so good it's no problem!! I hope Jay Lake continues these stories in his Clockwork Universe!!
