Rated The Stone in the Skull 8/10

I agree with some of the more negative comments about the early pages being a bit of a slog. For a character-driven story I had a difficult time relating to the main characters. Not that they were bad, unlikeable people but some of them are pretty strange (I'm beginning to wonder if Elizabeth Bear hasn't got a thing for automatons) and there is a lot of worldbuilding going on that tends to slow the plot down considerably. Eventually, however we've got all the players on stage and things really pick up in the second half. I'm charged up to see where Bear takes us now, and I have a lot of faith in her ability to make me happy I made the slog.
