A review by sadys_shelves
Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
4.0
The setting of this story is unique, as are the characters themselves. Within moments the the reader is inside of Fever's head. Fever's place in the world begins small and certain, but she is awkwardly, but realistically thrust into a world she had never really visioned being part of... after all, scientists observe, they don't partake.
On one hand it is an intriguing look at what it is to be raised by men of science, particularly as a girl, and discovering how to interact and question the world. On the other it is a serious inquiry on how one can discover themselves outside of the definitions and labels afforded to them through their lineage and social "calling."
Like all stories of this nature, the journey seems to have just begun. I am eager to find out what awaits Ms. Crumb.
