BLURB:

Raven is a clockwork boy, created for a childless queen. But something has gone very wrong in his creation, for he has no feelings. Rejected by his mother, sent to the crystal mines, Raven has no fear, no anger, and no hope. But his maker has been looking for him, bearing three dangerous gifts. If Raven accepts them, he will never be the same again. Based on the fairytale of Snow White.
It includes a bonus short story, "The Truth", a retelling of the fairytale of Rumpelstiltskin.

REVIEW: 

 This short Clockpunk story by Chrysalla Thoma tells a tale of the Unfinished Boy, a prince named Raven, who shows no feelings, when his father dies.

We learn during the story, he is unable to feel, due to the fact that his father had stolen him from his maker before his completion.

Upon his father's death, his mother the Queen, sends him to the Crystal mines, to punish him for not showing his love for his dead father. Raven finds his heart when a mysterious, beautiful girl visits him, on visitors day.

This story is quite unusual and is entwined with magic of clockwork creatures, in a fantasy world, similar in nature to an old fashioned fairytale.
