I was intrigued by this story----the characters, the suspense, the political, moral, psychological and religious themes. And happy when I finally figured out that Natalya Yegorovna was not Nastasya Nikiforovna----or is it Petrovna?

Mortal Engines is a wonderfully odd, action packed, steampunk YA book that I never would have picked up if it weren’t for a recommendation from Ashley. It was a strange one for me to read and an even stranger one to review. This story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the societal norm is for towns and cities to be vertical and mobile. They acquire resources, art and workers by overpowering, or “eating” as they put it, smaller towns. Then there are the “anti-tractionists” who live in stationary (ordinary to you and me) towns. These anti-tractionists must go to great lengths to hide and protect their towns from the “Municipal Darwinism” of their “town eat town world.” Where this story didn’t quite work for me was in the telling of it. Phillip Reeves created an amazing world with complex issues and wonderfully flawed characters. Yet the story is told from an omniscient point of view which, combined with the non-stop action, large number of characters and very little internal monologue, left me feeling somewhat distant from the story. Instead of a novel worthy of immersing myself in, Mortal Engines made me long to watch it in a mini-series. Perhaps actors could bring more life to the characters than what Reeves has written? I liked the people he presented, but he only reveals what they are thinking or doing at the exact moment. He never really gives us a chance to know them. And as a result, despite the incredible detail obviously given to this book, the characters tend to fall a little flat. The writing style reminds me of that which is reserved for younger YA, yet Reeves offers difficult topics and this book takes quite a few dark turns that may not be appropriate for younger readers. As I said, this is difficult to review. I loved the book, but wanted a little more depth out of it. Even so, I for sure recommend this for lovers of post-apocalyptic YA, or just any YA fan who needs a break from all of the drama and the angst. Although this is a series, Mortal Engines is easily a standalone book. If you don’t like it, there aren’t any nasty cliff hangers waiting to suck you even further into the series. Really, my review doesn’t do this story any justice. Read Ashley’s review (which I linked above) then go read this book =) I rated this 3 stars, but really 3.5 or even 3.75 ~ yeah, that's nitpicking! The only thing stopping me from rating Mortal Engines 4 stars or higher is the emotional disconect I felt. Oterwise, it's an awesome book!

Another "cute" story. Predictable but fun and easy to read. It seems like a lot of these books are the exact same story - just different settings.

Always reach for the green light.
the plot of this 4th septimus heap book is delivered in a markedly more choppy and unexpected fashion. i found it overall marginally less satisfying than the previous three books (though the ending was quite strong), but it was refreshingly less predictable (not that this was an issue with the previous books). it seemed that this time around there was less influence from an editor/publisher, which i suppose can happen after an author has proved their success with a series. and i guess it can turn out to be a good or bad thing for the series as a whole. however it's too early to tell with this series and i suspect future volumes will be just as widely-loved.

i resisted reading this book for a long time, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, although a little too lyrical, biblical and slightly manipulative for my taste.
if you like short stories, personal narratives etc. and you like tattoos and the cultures whom have sprouted up around the art or vice versa...you should really pick this up. it is a great book to keep in your purse or man bag or back pack, for a quick read while waiting for whatever.
In the preface to this book Neal Stephenson said that when a friend told him that the main character was an asshole, he knew that he was on the right track. I loved this book.
