Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve
4.0

YA fiction continues to appeal to me. There is a lightness and sense of humor and wonder that I don't get enough of reading my grownup books. And YA reads blazing fast. I'm reading this series out of order so I did feel occasionally left out of the history, but Reeve drops in mild exposition to help out readers like me. One trade off I deal with in YA fiction is characters who are caricatures or not really there, other than to move the plot. It's a Steampunk world of the future they live in and technology is used wisely in the plot. The other books in the series are STRONGLY hinted at, but I'm going to read them, anyway!

Four stars for a younger reader.

Recommended.
