Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Review: A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve
Josh Lacey is not disappointed by A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve, the final part of his 'Mortal Engines' sequence.
The last few chapters of A Darkling Plain are magnificent, drawing together everything that we have experienced over hundreds and hundreds of pages. The finale is moving. And the last cunning twist that ends the book might be a little tricksy, but it's also apt and beautiful and very satisfying. With this quartet, Reeve has created an extraordinary imaginative achievement. Read it. You won't be disappointed.
