"When Fever returned to London she was reunited with her father, Dr. Crumb, and her mother, Wavey Godshawk, who had recently married. Dr. Crumb was working with Quercus, Lord Mayor of London at converting London into a traction town with his new assistant, Charley Shallow. Wavey decided to take Fever north to investigate the source of Stalker brains to assist the transformation of London and during their trip they discovered a plot to attack London by the northern nomad tribes. As the drama of London and the attack by the nomads comes to a head the basis of the story of Mortal Engines is set in motion."

— Jess, 2/7/2014" Fever Crumb's adventures are over. I cannot help but feel sad about this, especially since this last book ended on such a bittersweet note. I'm wanting to write a full review but I'm gonna need to think on it for a bit. Three stars. "
— Penny, 2/6/2014" There were plenty of very original characters and action, I think I liked it better than a web of air. Still, there were elements I didn't like, and it wasn't quite on par with Mortal Engines. "
— Dove, 1/6/2014" Alas, 2.5 stars. I really was hoping the author would bring back Arlo, so I ended up skimming more than reading. "
— Batsheva, 12/31/2013" Ah, Fever, my sister! What a journey you've had! Satisfied sigh. "
— Brenda, 12/26/2013" Big fan of this series. Reeve manages to create believable characters in a realm of strange folks & devices. This is one series and writer I will continue to follow with high anticipation. "
— NVTony, 12/8/2013" I must say Reeve's depth in this post-apocalyptic realm seems boundless. I am torn between wanting to see how much further his imagination can bend and twist these poor people's lives, and fearing that it will all go to pot if he does. If he puts it out I will read it though. "
— Chris, 10/11/2013" In which Engineer Fever Crumb, raised rationally and emotion-free, continues her growth as a person full of inconsistencies and feelings... "
— Lindi, 9/12/2013" Yes. Yes, yes, yes. "
— Fiona, 6/13/2013" The third in a series of prequels to the four volume Mortal Engines series. What can I say? This world is mesmerizing. It won't mean as much if you haven't read the others, but if you have read them, no doubt you already have this on hold or pre-order. "
— Susan, 5/13/2013" What a dissapointment the first few in this serise were ok the second was the best. With Thursday i though i was going in a completely diffrent direction and it didn't go that way at all it went competly of track and it ruined it. "
— Deborah, 5/4/2013" I enjoyed this, but felt that the series was petering out somewhat, and perhaps getting a little too clever. Still, highly rated author, and pretty entertaining. "
— Claire, 3/10/2013" That was wonderful. A great way to end a series.. but wouldn't it be even lovelier if it isn't over? "
— Purlewe, 11/25/2012" Arc fom Netgalley "
— Beth, 10/28/2012" Found a bit slower than first in series but still enjoyed reading. Author tossed bit of romance into this story while expanding personality of main character. Steampunk fans will find invention of airplane a welcome addition to plot. "
