Deepgate Codex

review 1: 5 StarsAlan Campbell has created a wonderful genre blurring series in the Deepgate Codex. This is a series that has roots in fantasy, science fiction, steampunk, and even horror. Each of the three books so far have a very different feel and style. They are filled with Angels, Demons, Gods, and creatures. There are swords and bows, guns and bombs, and cool constructs.God of Clocks is book three in the series and one that I truly enjoyed. I have enjoyed each book In this series more each time, even though the setting and the story of book one Scar Night is hard to beat. The main cast of characters are an awesome bunch that Campbell makes better with each novel.Why should you read this? What could be cooler than reading about a giant man that is attached to a floating ship vi... morea a massive rope and is dragging through all of Hell by strength and will alone.“Anchor heaved against his harness until he felt the land around the portal mouth crumble under the insurmountable pressure. Slowly and inexorably, he dragged Cospinol's great skyship down into the depths of Hell.”The action is all fast and furious and penned with style...“Or so she hoped. Now would be a really good time, Mina.From the battlefield to the west arose a new mist. It poured from the mouths of ten thousand slain men and demons like a final cold exhalation. A little blood yet remained in those warriors and, aboard the Rotsward, Mina Greene had used this to her advantage. Tendrils of fog intermingled above the corpses to form a thin grey pall that swelled and heaved and then rolled out over the Larnaig Field like a seawater tide. It consumed the slopes and the railway buildings and the lake and plains beyond in sorcerous mist. It billowed against the walls of Coreollis and swamped the forest where it merged with the Rotsward's own shroud of fog.”God of Clocks throws even more into the mix of this series by centering on time travel...““I mean two arrows flew up through that gap, but there's only one here now. And it's not just that. I've been seeing strange things for days now… memories that don't match up with reality, moments in time that repeat themselves. They're likedefects, as if reality… or even time itself has somehow become fractured.” She watched the other woman frown. “Dill experienced the same vision you did—of the world cracked open.”“That was… odd,” Mina admitted.“Something strange is happening,” Rachel said. “Thaumaturgy, or…” She waved her hands. “I don't know. Something to do with what happened to Rys's bastion in Coreollis… or else something involving the god of clocks. Doesn't Sabor study time?””I love the style of this series, the characters, and the action. I have had such a blast reading this series and give them my highest recommendations. Campbell has created a kitchen sink series that will find fans from all genres of fiction... To me a must read set of books.
review 2: Dill is now an Archonite, a massive hell-forged machine of bone and steel, his body long since murdered. Carnival has been captured and is being boiled alive. Rachel is trying to find the gates of heaven, and everywhere the fabric of time seems to be unraveling.I gave this such a low score because of the ending, which I found to be a major letdown after reading the trilogy and wanting a conclusion that matched the grand arch of the rest of the story. less
