Synopsis
Two years ago, Fever Crumb escaped the war-torn city of London in a travelling theatre. Now she arrives in the extraordinary craer city of Mayda, where buildings ascend the cliffs on funicular rails, and a mysterious recluse is building a machine that can fly. Fever is the engineer he needs - but ruthless enemies will kill to possess their secrets. The fabulous sixth book in the Mortal Engines series, from the brilliant and award-winning Philip Reeve.
Review
These prequels in the Mortal Engine series are brilliant - this latest one Web of Air brings the story of Fever Crumb nearer to whenre Mortal Engines start, and is full of adventure and early flying technology.
I find Philip Reeve an excellent writer whith good story lines and characterisations. I can find nothing bad to say about this book - it sits perfectly in the Mortal Engine series. The only thing I will say and that is I hope he does one more prequel to show us how London gets its mobility!
More than highly recommend it.
