The Brimstone Key (Grey Griffins: The Clockwork Chronicles, #1) by Derek Benz

Mar 09, 2011 Reading Vacation's Mom rated it 5 of 5 stars

REVIEW

Steampunk meets the modern world in Minnesota. It may sound weird, but IT WORKS. I was drawn into an amazing world of supernatural beings (fairies, unicorns, changelings) and wild clockworks (robots with a reason for being). The descriptions were spot on and made this crazy world come to life.

The main characters, Max, Natalia, Ernie, and Harley, were typical kids in a world that was anything but typical. I liked that they got along and worked together so well. My favorite character was Nat...more

I was so excited to receive a copy of The Brimstone Key for review from the authors! I mean, just look at that cover! And I love to read books for this age with my two younger kids, and this book seemed to be right up all of our alleys! I mean, Steampunk, changelings, and Clockwork creatures....for kids? What's not to love?

This book continues the adventures of Max, Ernie, Natalia, and Harley, the group of young kids called The Grey Griffins, but I didn't feel lost having not read the earlier boo...more

I just couldn't do it. I was skimming by the midpoint of chapter 1. I found the writing barebones, to the extent on one page characters find themselves in three dire circumstances in a row and I was still going, "Wait. Who are these kids and why in the world do I care if they survive or not??? And wait a minute, ANOTHER thing just got thrown at them...but I'm still trying to process that the authors just threw two other things at them in lackluster style with no supsense or buildup or...

This book was amazing. It is a mix of steam punk, science fiction, gamer and gold old mystery all rolled up in one. It was a very addictive read. I found more than once, that I did not want to put my eReader down. I wanted to find out what was going to happen next.

The Grey Griffins are many things - monster hunters, associates of the Templar knights, legends in their own right - but they are also children. School aged children. The first book in the Clockword Chronicles takes them to the Iron Bridge Academy.

The Brimstone Key is a fabulous book where mythological creatures meet the modern day world.

Let me just say, I would go visit Iron Bridge Academy in a heart beat.

This elite academy is now the school where the legendary Grey Griffins will be attending. Max, Natalia, Harley and Ernie are normal kids growing up in a normal world, but have extraordinary abilities. I really enjoyed reading about this close knit group's adventures and I really liked how easy they were to read about, and how well they got along. It would have been a blast to grow up with friends like this. They are characters with whom both guys and girls will relate to. They're intelligent and all work together to solve mysterious. Max is the leader and while you wouldn't know from meeting him, he comes from money. Then there is Harley, the inventor. He's never had the type of money Max has, but that doesn't stop him. Natalia is the sleuth and a very intelligent, fearless female heroine. Ernie is a changeling, and he becomes more faerie each time he uses his new found abilities, which I have to say are pretty cool.

My favorite female character was Natalia. She's one feisty ( I mean that in a very respectful way), fearless girl who doesn't care what others think of her, nor does ever lose site on who she really is. I think that sends a powerful message to young girls to be stand firm in who they are and be proud of that, no matter what anyone says. I really liked Max, as the leader of the group he has little fear and a lot of compassion when it comes to his friends. Harley is just hard not to love, muscle and all. Being a Changeling, Ernie has some amazing abilities/powers. If I could pick a character to be from this series, I'd pick a Changeling. Who wouldn't want to have the power to teleport, run super fast, have enhanced eye site and heal quickly!?! Being a changeling is also a danger.

When you're dealing with danger, you definitely need these powers, as danger is through out this book. The Grey Griffins are on a quest to stop an evil scientist and his minions of Clockwork creations and find out what's happening to the changelings who keep disappearing. With out giving away any spoilers, let's just say this is a great tween read, with a lot of adventure, magic and action. I know this series is being compared to Harry Potter, and I can sorta of see that, but there's too many difference to compare the two in my book. I've not read the original Grey Griffins series, but I never once felt lost as to what was going on. I felt this story stands well on it's own, but I am planning on reading the original series now.

I recommend The Brimstone Key to tween, teen and adult readers. I think there's a little bit of everything in this book that will hook readers of all ages, as they enjoy getting to know the Grey Griffins and following them on their adventures. It's a fun read that grabbed my attention from the first page and I quickly found myself devouring it's story. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series.(less)

That said, there was one I found particularly amusing. On page 74, one teacher says, "However, Robert's schedule puts him under my car." Heh.

Anyway, the book itself wasn't bad. I have not read any of the original Grey Griffins series, so I'm sure there were certain things I would have understood better if I had, but despite that, I really didn't have any trouble following the action or figuring out who was who or anything like that.

Some people call this series a wannabe Harry Potter, and there definitely is that vibe, but it's a steampunk Harry Potter, so I'm OK with it - even despite some of the notable similarities: Max = Harry, the hero with extra power even though he's not a changeling, who's basically orphaned, with a family betrayal in his past. Natalia = Hermione, the slightly bossy, very bookish token girl. The other two bear certain similarities to some HP characters, but not enough to really count. Harley has a certain Ron quality, but it states explicitly that he never complains, so obviously he's not Ron's alter-ego, even though there's some clear foreshadowing to a potential future relationship with Natalia. And Ernie, the changeling, doesn't really have an HP equivalent, though at times, he reminds me a bit of Neville. I could probably take it farther, but really, I think it'd be reaching at that point.

The story was good; kept me interested enough that I read it in a day. True, it's not a challenging read, but still. The ending definitely left me interested in reading the subsequent books, although whether or not I actually do remains to be seen. It wasn't that good a cliffhanger.

There was one thing that seriously irritated me, and that was the spelling of "arithmetick." I kind of hate the K that sometimes gets added to things like "magic" and the like, but if you're going to do it, at least be consistent. This book spelled "magic" without the silly K, but randomly adds it to "arithmetic." WTF?

Ultimately, though, I enjoyed this book, and would certainly recommend it to kids. And it will be added to my list of books for boys, for sure.(less)

Lots of things developed in the first trilogy are featured, some as key components, others as just background development.
Altogether, I did not really enjoy this book much. Even though I have read the first trilogy, I felt some things were not well explained at all. I still feel that the game of Round Table has not been actually explained. Iver told the Griffins that it was used as training, and a few games have been played here and there, but the actual game still remains a side show. The cards themselves, of course, reveal the new monsters and brand of evil that the Griffins will be facing next.
One thing that particularly bothered me was Brooke's disappearance. She was kidnapped by Smoke, and then rescued (after some card shenanigans that Max was blamed for, of course), but it was never made clear what happened to her after that. She didn't return to school, and her "disappearance" was mentioned several times, but what actually happened was never explained. Was she holed up at her house for her protection? But if so, why didn't she respond to Max's numerous attempts to contact her? Her father's orders? She has constantly gone behind his back, so I find that doubtful. Is she really a changeling, as was alluded to? If so, what are her powers, and how did that happen? Seems like a bizarre plot twist, and can Bounder Faeries be Bound to changelings? That could be an interesting point, but I doubt the development would go that far.
The authors have done a very good job at making their main characters not perfect. Max makes numerous mistakes, particularly in the SIM chamber with Xander. Ernie is still as dorky as ever, though he is beginning to come into his own a bit. Natalia manages to get the whole gang in trouble (when are they not) with the "party." Harley, though, is very rarely featured. He's kind of been shunted aside, which is a shame, because I would think Clockworks would be right up his alley. He's only spotlighted when he's apprenticed to Monti and when he reprograms one of the Clockworks to save the Griffins in the library.
Overall, I would not recommend this book. It has some interesting twists on steampunk and fantasy, but it leaves the reader slightly dissatisfied at the end, even more so than a book in a series should.(less)

As someone who has never picked up a Grey Griffins book before, I found this story easy to understand and catch up with. I may go back and read other Grey Griffins books now, while I wait for the next book, but I won't be going back to read them because I felt I was missing something here. That said, I probably did miss some things that devoted Grey Griffin fans will squee about. There were a few characters that were clearly making cameo appearances in this book, I assume from the previous Grey Griffin escapades, but they weren't so central to this story that I minded not really knowing who they were. Of course, there also might be a bit too much information and back story in the beginning of this book for someone who has just devoured the previous Grey Griffins series. Just because I appreciated all of the explanation and introduction of characters doesn't mean that everyone else will. BUT if you are a Grey Griffins fan, or are providing readers' advisory for one, rest assured that there is a lot after those first few chapters that Max, Natalia, Ernie and Harley were surprised about, so I'm sure you (or your reader) will be too.

This book was pitched to me as a steampunk novel for middle grade readers, and I wondered just how the writers were going to pull that off with established characters from a series set in current times. They did it wonderfully and pretty realistically. Well, maybe realistically isn't the best word given that this is a fantasy novel, but the writers did not require any ridiculous suspensions of disbelief of me in order to fit the steampunk elements into the story. The Grey Griffins nemesis is a man who has spent the last century trapped in a Round Table card. When he somehow escapes, he restarts the experiments and projects that got him imprisoned in the first place. And voila! We have clockwork machines running amuck in the modern day (Templar cloaked) world. Fashions at Iron Bridge Academy also run on the steampunk-y style. At first, this was weird to me, but parts of it get explained away pretty understandably:

* The Academy is not actually in Avalon, but in Iron Bridge, a Templar community outside of the "regular" world that has maintained Victorian sensibilities.
* All the kids wear goggles because they can act out their Round Table tournaments with them.
* A lot of the changelings are depressed about their lot in life, and so bring in the sort-of goth element.
* All the grown-ups have weird weapons strapped all over them, especially when things start to get dangerous.

Put all of that together with a bunch of evil clockwork machines and a "subway" restored to its turn of the century glory and you have a good old steampunk costume party at school every day, and because the Grey Griffins are woefully dorky, fashion-wise, all of this gets explained in great detail. And while I'm a fan of the steampunk elements throughout (clearly), I don't think they are overwhelming to the story. Readers who are just looking for a fantasy or just looking for another Grey Griffins book shouldn't be put off by them.

I really enjoyed getting to know all of the Grey Griffins (and a few yet to be named sidekicks, to avoid being spoiler-y). I'm sure that fans of the previous series will enjoy heading off to school with Grey Griffins here, and new readers are sure to be sucked in as well. There is definitely a Harry Potter vibe going on with the addition of Iron Bridge Academy to these kids lives that will appeal to a lot of readers.

This book makes very little sense to me. Maybe because I didn't read the series it follows. The characters are one-dimensional and unpredictable. Their situations are unreal. The steampunk parts are extremely forced and clash horribly with the daily realistic bits. I cannot put those two together in the same story. They cannot coexist. However, I can see how the series this is based on might be decent so I will steer readers there first.
