Book Review(Infernal devices)
This book is the third book in the Mortal engine quartet where Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw now lives together in a broken-down moving city. They now have a child are are content to live in Anchorage-in-Vineland, the city. However, their child, Wren Natsworthy, after hearing all the stories of adventure and courage that the couple had experienced, feels frustrated at the boring live in Anchorage-in-Vineland, and decides to follow Caul, a former Lost Boy, which was an organisation of boy thiefs that loot cities by leaching submarines to them. Caul then met a Lost Boy, who then requested him to help steal a book in the library of Anchorage. Caul refused to steal the book, but Wren is discovered and convinced to steal the book,The Tin Book, from the library in exchange for an adventure away from Anchorage-in-Vineland on a limpet,the Lost Boys' submarines. Wren manages to steal the book from the library, but the Lost Boy were found when Hester tracks Wren down. The limpet manages to excape, but has 3 crew down and Wren on board. they then get distracted by the raft city of Brighton, which holds the Lost boys as slaves. Slowly, Tom and Hester tracks down Brighton and manage to escape, but not before Brighton is attacked by The Green Storm, a organisation to make the world green again by eradicating all traction cities. Stalker Fang, A stalker made out of Anna Fang, is killed by Stalker Shrike, who was programmed by the Green Storm engineer to kill her, but not before she memorises the Tin Book down, which was the activation code used to activate ODIN, a orbital weapon.From this story, it is possible to tell that peace is extremely fragile and that once a mistake is committed, the chains of events occuring is irreversible. In our present life, Peace should not be taken for granted and that we should be contented why what we have, unlike Wren.
