The author of the best-selling and critically beloved "Mortal Engines" quartet has written a stunning, stand-alone prequel. "Fever Crumb" is set many generations before the events of "Mortal Engines", whose brilliantly-imagined world massive, predatory Traction Cities chase and devour each other. Now London is a static, overcrowded, riot-torn powerhouse that hides an explosive secret. Is Fever, adopted daughter of Dr Crumb, the strange key that will unlock its dangerous mysteries?
Fever Crumb is an interesting read. I think, to be honest, it's more interesting than enjoyable, but it definitely wasn't bad.
I feel as though Reeve cheated us on some great emotional impact and plot twists by the way he laid them out and wrote them, but some were still surprising enough. And though the ending was fairly lackluster, it was still an okay read.
