The mighty engines of Anchorage have been rusted and dead for years. The derelict city no longer roams the Ice Wastes, but has settled on the edge of the land that was once America. Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw are happy in the safety of a static settlement, but their daughter, Wren, is desperate for adventure. When a dangerously charming submarine pirate offers her a chance to escape, Wren doesn't think twice about leaving her home and her parents behind. But the pirate wants something in return - Wren must steal the mysterious Tin Book.

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....

The narrator’s voice isn’t right for this book
The story is fantastic, but the narrator’s voice is shaky and a bit gurgley. It’s just not easy to listen to her narrate for longer than a few minutes! I wish Philip Reeve narrated all the fever crumb series or if they stuck with Barnaby Edwards (who narrated all of the Mortal Engines series).

Brilliant Cliffhanger
This book is a beautiful second book in the Fever Crumb series. Beautifully written with mystery, surprising twists and just a dash of romance. A sweet coming of age story in its own way.
Except for the ending.
After many hours of enjoyable listening, I was dismayed by the ending. I was simply unprepared for the book to end so abruptly. In my opinion the ending was a shocking and unwanted twist for these well developed and lovable characters. Hopefully there is a third book.

Philip Reeve Continues To Improve
Although I was initially disappointed Philip Reeve did not narrate the second book Jenny Agutter did an incredible job.
The world Philip Reeve has created continues to deepen and enrichen- but he makes sure to only choose stories from the world that seem to need to be told. There is a great economy in his writing and you are able to see the world through the lens of each character as they become the narrator.

not the best in series but worth the read
fever's second adventure is far less jarring and exists as a sort of detective/ inventor novel for the series keeping a steady pace but somewhat slower than we are used to.

Ok Story, Narration best with older characters
I was very entranced by "Fever Crumb" and I had high expectations for this sequel. The story itself was semi-entertaining. It did seem to spend a lot of time on build up, however.
The narration was best illustrated with older characters. The interpretation of Fever herself made it seem like she was about 80 years old, rather than in her teens.
Mini Spoiler about the next narrator in the next book....complete opposite. Older voices sound so contrived.

A web of intrigue
A change of narrator and change of scene. Fever has left London behind but like the sinister Octopus cartel it has its agents everywhere. Plots thicken, Angels call and the forgotten secrets of flight are rediscovered. While I found this to be the weakest book in the Fever Crumb series it is still worth a listen, as it links book one and three together. A good story, well narrated but not as pacy or exciting as the others in the series.

Great series but preferred Philip reading the first one
Defiantly feel more involved with the characters then mortal engines
Can only hope the third is as good !!

Very Enjoyable 😀
The Fever Crumb series was a great trilogy which acts as a prequel set for The Mortal Engines quartet. Whilst I didn't enjoy Fever's adventures *quite* as much as I enjoyed Tom Natsworthy and Hestor Shaw's in the original, I do think these books are worth reading for their contribution to the development of this world and its history. Recommended for fans - if you haven't read Mortal Engines, start there instead 😀
