To Save Humanity, They'll Have To Leave It Behind A world beneath our world. An army of mechanical monsters. A war to end all wars. When childhood best friends Adal and Arija discover a steam powered world hidden deep within the earth, the result is life changing. Webley and the Dwellers of The World Machine work to keep the Earth turning. But when Arija and Adal stumble onto a growing conflict that will destroy the Earth, they find themselves forced to fight. Will they be able to stop the war in time or will they regret ever having set foot in The World Machine? Webley and The World Machine is a YA Steampunk featuring two snarky and fun eighteen year olds, a dwarf-like giant and a whole slew of odd robotic creatures. It's Sucker Punch meets Wild Wild West, and if you love sassy characters or all things steampunk you need this book in your life. WARNING: The characters in this book have a mind of their own and enjoy swearing and generally getting themselves into trouble.

Teenage BFFs Adal & Arija find out there is a whole different world that they never knew existed. Created by mysterious giant, Webley, the world is populated by clockwork beings. All is not as it seems and the friends find themselves in the middle of a life or death struggle.

This was an enjoyable YA read. The alternating viewpoints worked well & the hint of romance was thankfully not overdone. Rating: 3.5 🌟

I've made very few forays into the steampunk genre. What little I've read tends to define the limits of my imagination, which is something of an embarrassment. I can believe in magic and in psychic abilities, in unicorns that heal and in familiars that speak in human tongues. But I can't believe in a machine that sits at the center of the world? Why not? Why should that be the idea I can't follow down the rabbit hole?

MeganAnn What a beautiful description/story! I love your words here so very much 😍 7y
DragonAuthors @MeganAnn Thank you! I didn't know how to review it so it kind of turned into an essay. 🤣 7y
DragonAuthors (2/4) Still, I LOVE the cover on this one, so I had to try it. And then it even had illustrations! I'm a sucker for art in a book. I think it comes from my dad reading to me when I was a kid. The editions he read from--Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, Swiss Family Robinson, and so many more--all had illustrations scattered like rare diamonds between the pages, and each one felt like a discovery. 7y
DragonAuthors (3/4) And I loved the descriptions in this one too. The clothing, the mechanical creatures, the underground world--all presented in detail. The clockwork androids that walk and talk and think and feel. Which is, in itself, a kind of magic. And why shouldn't clockwork mechanisms be imbued with reason? Or with magic, for that matter? Why is that, for me, the place where the sidewalk ends? 7y
DragonAuthors (4/4) I don't know. But I'll keep returning, I suppose--drawn by curiosity--to stare into the dusk and wonder what other worlds might be waiting for me, if I could just step off the edge. 7y
