In the world created in this book, you never die, only run out of time and move on to the next place, until you serve your time and return to “life” again. Information is uploaded into your brain, and memories are shared, but only if someone else allows it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the stumbles, I enjoyed reading The Iron Thorn. The mix of steampunk and Cthulhu Mythos make a unique setting for a teen reader that can act as a gateway for stories like Cherie Priest's Boneshaker or even Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu. It's a fast paced adventure with a worthy heroine in a world that's set to screw with her (as any good setting should), making for a compelling read. Buy it and help warp some kid's mind.]]></description>
