Mothstorm by Philip Reeve
4.0
A fun end novel to this trilogy, keeping the heart of the series to the end. Though it seems impossible, there is still more new material to be revealed and explored in this installment.
Art, his sister, and the rest of their family and friends are called once more to save the known solar system. Interrupted during Christmas, the Mumbys are informed of a strange, unidentified black cloud that is slowly encroaching on the solar system from beyondUranus Georgium Sidus. At the same time, two Britons have gone missing upon that planet, and have sent out a strange distress signal. But when it is revealed that the cloud is actually a legion of giant moths and their mysterious riders come to invade the British space empire, it will be up to everyone to bravely join forces one more time.
Many loose plot points come to play a main role in this novel, and all the characters return just as fun as ever. The end wraps everything up quite nicely, if a little quickly. I'll miss these characters and this imaginative take on light steampunk.
