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.

This book is much like the first one with a different city. I think this series is just too young for me. I wish I had read these when I was in middle school.

Philip Reeve ha un'immaginazione straordinaria e i suoi middle grade/young adult sono tra i migliori che si possano leggere. Sono scritti bene, hanno un'ambientazione magnifica e una trama sempre interessante. Mi è sempre dispiaciuto vedere quanto in Italia sia una serie poco conosciuta (e dalle basse vendite, si direbbe, visti i molteplici tentativi di lancio della saga) ma, come ho già spiegato, si tratta di quattro libri validissimi, se accettati per quello che sono.
