Predator’s Gold is a wonderful expansion of Mortal Engines, adding some of my favourite elements to series. Pennyroyal! Stalker Fang! The Lost Boys and Uncle! I don’t normally care for love-triangles but I think Reeve does a great job at making us understand the POV and motives of all involved. The action-packed second half is where I really noticed the writing having taken a step up, where Reece balances the various plotlines really well. This one acts as the fulcrum to the rest of the series and it does a fantastic job of setting up the second half of the series.

It was frustrating that some things in this book could have been solved by a simple conversation. However, I did really enjoy and am invested in the characters.
