A review by court_of_stars
Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve

4.0

I read a lot of reviews that didn’t like this book; however, I happened to quite enjoy it. They first book in a series tends to spend a lot of time introducing characters and building a world, which this one did well.

There are many interesting and unique characters throughout and I found the concept compelling. Will I go see the movie? Probably not. Will I read more in the series? Definitely.

I don’t get caught off guard a lot, but there were a few spots that truly surprised me, and for that I am thankful and excited to read more.
