A review by buj
Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
4.0
I did not know how attached I was to this world and Philip Reeve's insane imagination until I revisited it with this book. I don't think I've met another writer who holds my interest the way Reeve does.
The technology of Fever Crumb's world is as odd and fascinating as that from Reeve's earlier Hungry City Chronicles, and the characterization of the people in this world is colorful and purposeful in a way that not only develops the setting and time but furthers the plot in a riveting way. And as always, I appreciate Reeve's ability to point out problematic societal norms like the misogynistic concept that women are too emotional for occupations in fields like the sciences.
