I read this book for a library club, reading books that haven‘t been borrowed. Take this with a grain of salt, though; I have little context from the two previous ones. I‘ll say: it isn‘t as bad as I thought it, initially. The character introductions seem forced and I don‘t really care for any of the main characters, though I admit to not hating them. Overall, the book wasn‘t the greatest but it did exceed my (pretty low) expectations.

The future, Quercus would say later, is something that sneaks up on us while we are busy doing other things.

She could sense that there would be paintings made about this night one day, and stories told, and great songs sung, for hundreds of years, long after she was dead. She wished she could be one of them future people listening to the stories, instead of herself, stood helpless and afraid here at the start of things.

“You safe, that would‘ve been first on her list, and don‘t you never doubt it. But second, and in quite large letters, underlined, she‘d have put: Revenge.”

“It is possible we may survive.”
“You‘re such a comfort.”

She suddenly understood why this feeling was called falling in love. It was as dizzying as dropping down a hole.

“But fear is slavery; to be free we must ignore fear.”

Those three short stories about Anna Fang were so much better than my last encounter with the Mortal Engines world. Here we learn a lot more about Anna, about her past, how she became who she is, and what is important to her. To be honest, I've enjoyed reading these stories more than some of the main books 😅

The illustrations by Ian McQue are amazing, especially when it comes to the engines.
