From School Library Journal Gr 4 Up—McClaren's fantasy graphic novel, originally posted online, is an aesthetically pleasing but uneven introduction to this clockwork world. Orio is a doll-like girl, newly awakened in the city of Cobble. She and her strange, skull-faced pet, Bauble, travel the city attempting to find a job that will suit Orio. Each prospect turns disastrous quickly, and Orio suffers from strange nightmares and broken memories. Meanwhile, an ominous presence skulks in Cobble's shadows. McClaren's art is beautiful but accessible, with hints of a Japanese style. The environment is interesting and engaging, reminiscent of the settings in Jim McCann's Return of the Dapper Man (Archaia, 2010), though much starker. However, with a lead character who never speaks and a sequence of events that is sometimes hard to follow, the novel only succeeds as basic introduction to the story to come in later volumes. Older readers will feel shorted of any real narrative upon finishing this volume. VERDICT An additional purchase for collections where fantasy graphic novels are in high demand.—Amy Diegelman, Vineyard Haven Public Library, MA

From the beginning you will quickly notice the scarcety of the words. There must be words to create a story you say? I don't think so. No fear, there are more text as the story goes on, but Meredith does so much with so little that it's addicting.BRAVO MEREDITH! BRAVO I SAY!Mary Fortner SmithComics.....Resistance is Futile!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Already Suffering From Withdrawal... By T. Adlam Much like we are, the main character, Orio, finds herself thrust into a new environment with very little explanation or back story. Before she can truly take it all in, she's given a shotgun orientation, shuffled off to pick out her clothes, and then tasked with selecting an "Odd" (like a familiar, or magical companion) before she gets settled in with a job. And her Odd, Bauble...is special. Rather than her choosing him, he chooses her and it ends up being a perfect match.The story, which moves quickly, focuses on getting Orio situated in Cobble (i.e. her job placement), however, none of the jobs on her list work out--courtesy of Bauble and his antics--and the one she wants, the one she'd be good at, didn't even make the list. To make things worse, there's something terrorizing the city. And more than that, there's another underlying story which is wrapped in mystery and that's the one I'm eager to see more of. I'm desperate to learn about Orio, how she wound up in Cobble and why that pocket watch is so important to her; Bauble, why he is the way he is (because he *definitely* has a back story); and especially about Cobble/Clockwork City itself.It's difficult to give much more away without spoiling the entire book, but suffice to say, it was a gripping read. In a sense, the tone of the book and story is quiet and subtle. The panels were laid out well and were easy to follow. The writing was top-notch--sharp, witty, and sometimes hilarious. The characters were surprisingly well developed. (I say surprisingly because this is a short work and it's not always easy to create well-rounded characters in such a short amount of time.) The artwork was sublime and the muted colour scheme worked for the overall story. If there was a problem with this work, it would be that sometimes the story drops--literally, there is no dialogue and it's a bit difficult to regain one's bearings. But for me, it was forgivable because it added to the fantasy mystery element.This is great if you enjoy quirky fantasy with a touch of wry (and maybe a little dark) humour. When I finished reading, I wanted to cry because there was no more left. I truly didn't want the story to end and I haven't felt that way about a book (much less a manga/graphic novel) in a long while.Disclaimer: Since I'm reviewing an ebook version courtesy of Netgalley, I can't comment on the print or binding quality of the book, but I've already placed my order for the print copy and can't wait for it to arrive.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A whimsical but purposeful version of Odd By Alt Orio goes to a place called Cobble where she takes custody of an Odd named Bauble and meets an Adjustment Counselor name Alluet. Orio forms an attachment to Bauble, which seems to be kind of a cross between a flying cat and a misbehaving boyfriend.The world Orio enters is a puzzle to her, a place of regimented, bureaucratic rules and unfamiliar customs. And clocks, of course, since it is a clockwork city. Orio walks through it in silence. In fact, Orio hardly utters a word in the entire volume. Sometimes she falls but she always gets back up. There's probably a lesson in that.There are pages and pages near the end that are all art, no words. That's cool, even if I spent a lot of time in an unsuccessful effort to understand the scenes depicted on the page. I think maybe the story is about finding yourself, accepting yourself, accepting your Odd, but I may be entirely wrong about that.I enjoyed Hinges although I would have to say that at least half the time I had no clue what was happening. The expressions on Orio's face are nearly enough to make the volume worthwhile. The rest of the art is whimsical but purposeful. Had I understood the purpose I might give this 5 stars, but out of shameful ignorance I'm giving it a solid 4.
