Finished Mortal Engines this evening. It was a great action adventure story in a well-realized fantasy/science-fiction setting that I didn't get lost in, and it felt like it had something to say beyond just being entertaining. Weird, wonderful, dark, nasty, and thrilling. It would actually make a great movie, except they'd screw it up. And the story wraps up at the end, instead of just stopping and leaving you waiting for the next book. (But there is a next book, which is nice, because I do want to see what happens to the characters next.)
