Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve

4.0

I don't know how it's possible but this series is really growing on me, and the books keep improving as the series goes on. Usually I find books about the children of main characters insufferably annoying, but this one surprised me. And true to the form of the past books, so did the characters. I don't want to spoil anyone's read but I have to say that my favorite thing about this author and this series is that the characters often do things I don't expect, but more than that, neither do they do the opposite of what I expect. They usually do something completely askew that is foolish and bizarre, but realistic, totally in line with their established character, and utterly... human. That being said, from where things left off in this third installment, I can't wait to read the next (last?) book in the Hungry City chronicles now.
