Tanglefoot (The Clockwork Century, #1.2)

Ta-ng-le-fo-ot!!
Tanglefoot is a short story. I actually read it aloud in the car in a little over an hour. Note this is NOT a novel, it is a very short story and continuation of the Clockwork Century. If you haven't read Boneshaker or Clementine, you won't like it. And even if you have read them, then you might still not like it. I did though, but I was only expecting a fun short story.
After reading it, I actually think it occurs (chronologically) before Clementine. But it might be easier to follow the story if you read it afterwards. Nothing that's in Tanglefoot is in Clementine so you're not spoiling either book.
This book follows the boy and the doctor from the Sanitarium in Clementine. Basically, the boy builds a mini robot. He's extremely proud of it. The doctor (who's memory is going) is also proud of it - and needs to be reintroduced to the robot almost everyday.
But of course it's not that simple. Nothing is in the Clockwork Century. As the summary says above - it's dark here. And different. So let's just say for now that the robot is not what it seems.
If you like the series and want to read a quick short story about a single place and basically just 3 (or 4 if you count the robot) characters, then spend an hour and give it a read. If you're not sure about the Clockwork Century or are expecting a great narrative, then pass on this one.
