Fever Crumb

I was hoping for a self-contained story, not an intro to a series. Well-written, decent story. It just doesn't really end and leads into the next book. (That I don't plan on reading).

Meh.

I did not know when I started reading this book that it is the prequel to Hungry City Chronicles which I have not read but I found this book stood alone very well. I will most likely read the Hungry City Chronicles after reading Fever Crumb. I found Fever to be an interesting character raised to think and not to let emotion take over I found she was still a ‘regular' (how can Fever really be regular) teenage girl. I liked the Engineers, I found them to be humorous at just the right time. I happen to like the references to our time, particularly reference to Hari Potter. I also really liked Kit but I will not say more about that. I liked it. If you are interested in post-apocalyptic novels that are not too terrifying this is a good choice.
