jubaju 's review for:

Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve
4.0

It took me a little longer to get into this book than with the previous two because of the time jump. I was looking forward to some more Hester Shaw growth, and that 16 year time skip robbed me of that.

That being said, after 100 pages or so, the story picked up again, and I really enjoyed it. The writing was great, as usual, the characters compelling enough, and the plot kept me hooked.

I do wish we’d had a little less romance, but I did like where we left Tom and Hester at the end.

I’m looking forward to the next volume, though, again, I could deal with minimal romance.
