A fun, pleasant diversion but it lacks the depth, detail, and complexity of the full length novels. The first of the stories is the strongest and it's hard not to wish more time had been spent there. Still, a charming series of short stories for fans of the Predator Cities quartet.

Loved this! Anna Fang was such an important character in the mortal engines series and I loved seeing more of her being developed. Also, Ian Mcque’s art style is so gorgeous

Anna Fang was my favourite side character and I could not get enough of her in the main storyline, and I was thrilled to see she had her own collection of stories and that they would be illustrated. Every since story was fantastic and not only delved into the lore of the world and her history, which made her all the more fascinating to me.
Not only did Anna's drive, power, and cleverness shine through, the illustrations filling nearly every page completely engrossed me. They added to the atmosphere and better described the unique world we were seeing.
Of all the novellas I've read recently, this is one of my favourite. A must have for fans of the series, and a great start for anyone looking for a dystopian fantasy with a powerful female lead!
