Amazing book. Will definitely recommend to friends and family . Good character development and plot line

Amazing once again. I’m glad I went back into this world. This author is great at what he does. He takes his time when he gives us these masterpieces. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I have to admit that the concept of moving cities that go around and devour each other and all the other science fiction elements of the novels set in this universe kind of make my head spin. I don't quite understand how it all works, but I don't want to make a judgement call as to whether that could use some additional flushing out within the book or if my nonscientific brain just doesn't get it. But I think that's why I liked Thunder City even more than Mortal Engines which I did enjoy even with the whole head spinning business. Thunder City, though set in the same universe, felt very different. It's ultimately a story of found family and the lengths people will go to keep it. It's also a poignant nod to patriotism and to standing up for one's homeland. I loved this quirky cast of characters, and some of their development was done really well. We get to see people with little confidence gain it, and some with great confidence lose it. I would love to spend more time with them all. The plot is somewhat predictable at least in terms of how it ends, but the way we get there is a rollicking bit of adventure that is not to be missed. Overall, I would recommend this book to those who love science fiction and to those who love found family and are willing to give sci fi a try.

I had never read any other books set in this world, and I really enjoyed this one. I will definitely be looking for the previous books set in this same world. I was briefly concerned early on that I might need to read the earlier books first, but I caught on pretty easily to what was going on. There was enough information to put me in the loop throughout the story so I could enjoy this book as a stand-alone. My favorite character is Small Cat, btw. That is such a cute element to this book, and a fun humanizing characteristic for Small Cat's guardian.
