Imaginative storytelling by a very good narrator
Reviewed: 05-01-25
Listening to this series for the 2nd time and it’s just as emotional and compelling. The concept of moving predator cities and the harm they cause other cities or towns in this dystopian wasteland is sad.The leftover technology being misused is sad
There is a hope in this book that there is “green place” in North America.

Story
With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her sometimes helpful child, who work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.

Amazing audiobook narrator! Awesome performance that made me “see” each character! And empathize with each one in turn!

I loved each character as they all had qualities that made me laugh or smile or tear up. Thank you Becky Chambers as your books always touch my heart.

Story
Return to the world of Mortal Engines in this new book of short stories about the rebellious young aviatrix, Anna Fang. In a dangerous future world where gigantic, motorized cities attack and devour each other, London hunts where no other predator dares. But Anna Fang - pilot, adventurer, spy - isn't afraid. The three stories show gripping, moving, exciting moments in Anna Fang's life: her childhood as a slave aboard the moving city Arkangel, a showdown against a robotic Stalker that is terrifyingly out of control, and her free life as an intelligence agent for the Anti-Traction league....

A wonderful sequel to Fever Crumb book

Lovely descriptions of possible future cultures and technology! Beautifully narrated! A sad end but fits in a way. There is a third book which ends this series and it is well worth listening to.

Great story that continues the Fever Crumb saga

Philip Reeves tells a very stirring and suspenseful story. Fever finally gets to grow into her own…Was grateful for the strong characterization. Story was often sad but hopeful.

Horrible in the best way

A fitting end to the Mortal Engine series!
Reviewed: 01-18-23
A kind of believable alternative world adventure. Great consistent characters!
I’m hoping tho our world doesn’t get this bad but it could if you read enough current events.
