    About this audiobook

    The final adventure in Philip Reeve's brilliant Fever Crumb trilogy

    The Scriven people are brilliant, mad--and dead. All except one, whose monstrous creation is nearly complete--a giant city on wheels. New London terrifies the rest of the world, and an army of mammoth-riders gathers to fight it. Meanwhile, young Fever Crumb begins a hunt for Ancient technology in the icy strongholds of the north. She finds a mysterious black pyramid full of secrets. It will change her world forever. Scrivener's Moon follows Fever Crumb and A Web of Air to complete one of the most exciting and inventive fantasy adventures series ever written.

      My thoughts on the series in general are attached to my review for Book 1. The moving cities are built with balsa wood/paper framing above the engineering systems? Really? Not exactly the impression given in the Mortal Engines series. Why try to make them more believable? Who was annoyed about the realism of giant predatory cities roaming the world eating each other?

      Honestly, that's my true take-away from this series closer. Couldn't find much motivation to care about the essential struggle portrayed. The edges of the story seemed more interesting (a vampire race that worships ancient pyramids full of tech? That's a book right there!)
    • 3/5
      I didn't enjoy this one quite as much at the previous book, but it's still pretty good YA fiction...good story, good characters, an interesting plot, and an imaginative setting.
    • 5/5
      Grim and exciting, and a lot more like the first book than the second. Loses half a star for preferring mayhem to believable plot at some crucial points. Charlie Shallow is all too real, and he's on his way up. The epilogue is too facile. Its very presence makes me fear that Reeve has finished with Fever Crumb for good. He may be all written out, but I can't say I'm all read out.

      Philip Reeve is probably a bit critical about the current version of London. Fever Crumb's London is grim, in a Dickensian way, but it also has a Dickensian appeal. She lives in the aftermath of a great war, which set technology back and depopulated the world, but it is possible that a depopulated, technologically poor world has some aesthetic advantages over the populated, technologically crass and self-destructive one that we live in today.
    • 4/5
      Really thought this was the third book in a trilogy. That's what I get for not doing my homework. Loved it, and *don't* want to wait who knows how long for the finale.

      Side note... it's cool to be able to put this on my lgbtq shelf, too.
    • 4/5
      Scrivener's Moon continues the story of Fever Crumb, the principal character who links all the prequels (three, so far) in the Mortal Engines series (known by the descriptive but not very poetic title of Hungry Cities Chronicles in North America, where any reference to the Othello quote is lost). It contains all the usual telltale signs of Reeve's Mortal Engines books: a rattling good storyline; the creation of empathy with some protagonists as well as sympathy for some rather less attractive characters; the positing of underlying moral and ethical questions without being preachy; and the comic use of culture-specific names and images, the ignorance of which doesn't preclude enjoyment of the whole). We also, for the first time I believe, get a helpful sketch map of the area, northwestern Europe as it may be a few millennia hence, which allows us to place all the action in its geographical context.

      In these pages we get to hear of the actual 'launch' of the original Hungry City, London, the planning of and subsequent production and commissioning of which sets in motion much of the action of the tale. Against the backdrop of the creation of this monstrous engine, the very epitome of steampunk, the lives of Fever Crumb, her family and acquaintances are all played out with some farce but also, it has to be said, with some not unexpected tragedy. And reminding us of the Wandering Jew of medieval legend, the enigmatic figure of the Stalker Shrike is never far away from our attention.

      There have been odd critical rumblings about how the Fever Crumb series lacked the immediacy of the Mortal Engines Quartet but, if it has been slow building, the excitement of reading of Tom and Hester's adventures in the Quartet has now been equalled by this reader's engagement in the third of the prequels. It seems very likely, from the inconclusive conclusion of Scrivener's Moon, that we may probably be referring to the Fever Crumb Quartet in the future; I certainly hope I shall be.
