Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Stone Clock
Andrew Bannister · 2019
72/100
👍 Worth It
Stone Clock wraps up Bannister's Spin Trilogy with genuine emotional heft and three protagonists worth caring about, even if the final act stumbles a bit on pacing. It's the rare series closer that holds its philosophical ambitions — artificial reality, dying civilizations, the question of purpose — without collapsing under them. If you've read the first two books, this earns its place as a satisfying conclusion.
