Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve

5.0

I love series which have a passage of time but still keep to the initial character arcs and stories, and this is a prime example! Set nearly twenty years after Hester's actions as a young woman. This story starts of with Tom and Hester's daughter Wren wanting to expand her adventures, and finding herself in way over her head, which forces Tom and Hester back into action.

This dystopia continues to expand and added some truly dark tones to the series. While I loved it, there were definitely some moments that left me a little uncomfortable. New and old characters returned, and I both dread and enjoy seeing what will happen in the finale! The characters continued to grow, and seeing how they have changed after such a long time was extremely rewarding. I found Tom t be quite strong this time, though Hester took a much darker turn and I think she has a long way to go.

Of all the books so far, this has been my favourite. I really, truly loved everything that happened and am eager to see how it wraps up in the epic ending!
