A review by marissalobot
Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve

3.0

I have mixed feelings about the big jump forward in time. We obviously don't get to see how Tom and Hester's relationship developed over this time, apart from how having a child negatively affected their relationship. We also don't get to see how the Green Storm starts the war or how Stalker Fang rises as the leader. After the build up in Predator's Gold of Stalker Fang being created and becoming the leader happens, I was hoping to hear more about what she does.

I am still heavily invested in Tom and Hester, and I respect the fact that their strong and different personalities have remained. The ending was very bittersweet, since Hester is nicely reunited with Shrike. I definitely enjoyed the parts with Shrike, I am glad he was brought back into the story.

I think Stalker Fang could have been used more in this book - although it seems she will appear again thanks to Fishcake.
