Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve
3.0
Maybe it's because I'm an adult that the opening "my parents don't me!" plot device really bugged me. Maybe it will speak to tweens and teens and they won't feel it's hackneyed for a YA novel. But I disliked it immensely.
Overall, I still enjoyed the book, still felt it was pacey, liked the characters and was kept guessing.
(The digs at Brighton were amusing, but really threw me out of the fantasy of the world that had been created. But I'm guessing that most readers won't know of Brighton's reputation, so it won't bother them.)
