A review by jubaju
Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
4.0
3.5 stars
I enjoy Reeve's books both in the way he writes them and what he puts in them. The writing is very simple and straightforward and the content tends to follow the same vein. There are some twists and turns here and there but overall you know where you're going, you're just along for the ride.
I do agree with most low-rated reviews that this prequel series is a lot less developed than the main one, but it is still enjoyable enough to read. It seems to be intended for a younger audience than Mortal Engines and has lighter themes, but that might change as the trilogy develops.
I'll definitely be picking up the following books in this series, even if the plot didn't hook me in as much a s the original series, just for the writing.
