A review by fyrier
Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
5.0
I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy. I've enjoyed it as much as the Mortal Engines books, it's the perfect compliment, explaining some part of the plot and history of the world while introducing new characters, with such depth and visions it's impossible not to like them.
I'll probably reread the book, as it's so packed with information and the story is so entangled it became difficult to follow at times. I love how unsure everything is with this author, I learned from the Mortal Engines that everything could happened at any time, but this book takes it to the next level. I love how well the story builds up and leads to a sequence of events while maintaining this uncertainty. I also fell in love with the way the characters are written. I've said it before, but it amazes me how every character counts, even the secondary or background characters are so well thought, with histories of their own and a sense of purpose that I've seen lack in other stories.
Last of the year (and decade) but the best so far.
