Disclaimer: I received an ARC from the publisher for an honest review.
Seventeen-year-old thieves stealing from a church wouldn’t usually inspire sympathy, but you quickly get to know and love the Pendulum Thieves. Parker talks too much, Sid talks too little, and Sylvia has panic attacks. Janet, their leader, has her own batch of issues including being the daughter of a prostitute.
In the beginning, you learn a bit about the religion of their world. Clocks are central to their religion and their ultimate god is known as the Clockmaker. A few of the Clockwork Gods are mentioned in a manner that implies that they physically roam around fiddling with humans and whatnot. We learn that this is true and that various groups claim different gods and goddesses as their patrons; for example, Artifex is the God of Craftsmen. Being that their religion is based on the clock, there are twelve Clockwork Gods, with a Mother, Father, and the Clockmaker above them in the hierarchy. Personally, I find the religion to be one of the most fascinating things about this book.
