A review by meha
Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I appreciated that this book takes on new characters from the rest of the series, and I found the

teenage rebellion

plot believable and a good adventurous time was had. What as shame the author never quite seizes the opportunity to explore the life-altering awakening of characters who realize municipal Dawinism is a sham… I think this was supposed to be a capitalism analog, but it never gets fully explored because they keep

uncovering another fully functional super weapon from the Before Times to tell us that War Is Bad

I got a little bored and annoyed at the moral inconsistency.
