Summary

Two years ago, Fever Crumb escaped the war-torn city of London. Now she arrives in the extraordinary city of Mayda, where buildings ascend the cliffs on 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.

good story but

the narration is a bit off putting, the dodgy accent particularly the 'Scottish' one was a bit too distracting

Great narration and plot

I really enjoyed this sequel to Fever Crumb. The author has a great talent for conjuring a detailed and imaginative world. I like the main character and the narrator does a lot of different voices for different speaking parts. What’s particularly cool are the tiny details of how over time things from the past world are mis/interpreted post apocalypse, eg some of the explanations of technology and artifacts.

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.

Jenny agutter is a treat

I wish Jenny had been asked to narrate all three she was brilliant.
The story is fantastic and the characters very compelling.
