Fantastic read, perfect ending to this trilogy. Love the characters, the worlds, the writing......everything!

I cried at the end of this ending to the Mortal Engines Quartet. I grew to love (or loathe...whichever fit) all the characters, those that appeared in all four books and those that didn't. Reeve's vision of our world far in the future, ater the devastation of the Sixty Minute War is so colourful and detailed and unique. His characters are rich and flawed and beautiful and his prose wonderful.
He mines the themes of family and love, loyalty, courage, revenge along with humanity's unending need for conquest and inability to ever live in peace.
Highly recommended!

Very good read. I love the idea of roaming cities devouring other cities for supplies in this future, steampunkish earth.

Reeve is certainly not afraid to kill off characters we develop affection for, leaving us with just Tom and Hester remaining for the next adventure.

I'm looking forward to reading book 2 in the series and learning more about the world of hungry cities.
