A bleak conclusion to a bleak series, full of unsympathetic characters.

A very good ending to the Mortal Engines quadrilogy. Taken as a whole the 4 books tell a brilliant heartfelt exciting story that stretch from space to the all the continents of earth.

After being disappointed by the first three books I didn’t expect it would be any different with this one 🫣 to my own surprise I have to admit - it was. Actually, I liked it. It was by no means perfect and far away from being a masterpiece, but I had fun and enjoyed the read. At that point that’s what counts and I‘m happy I sticked with it to the end.

A wonderful romp of a finale to this series! It was not quite what I expected, but I very pleased with how things wrapped up for everyone. This book had a lot of the same adventurous, globe-trotting feels that the first book had, plus a few things came veryyyy full-circle, which was nice to see play out. I'm going to miss this word of airships and Stalkers and adventures...

I really, really enjoyed this in the end! I read the series at the prompting of my son and, wanting to share the experience with him, I ploughed through books 2 and 3, thinking the first book (which was made into a movie) was the strongest. However this one, twice the length of the others, properly takes its time to explore the backstory and psychology of all the characters and their fates are gradually and believably interlinked.
Without spoilers, the ending is both epic (in the original sense) and poetic. I loved it.

One of the best books I've ever read, with a simply beautiful ending. Read the others first though!
