great story, terrible narration

I can't understand why a different narrator was used on each of the three books in this series, but the narration for this book was so different from the other two that it made listening difficult.

The narrator's voice sounded like she was faking a British accent. She placed odd emphasis on words that made it difficult to tell when she had finished a sentence. Speeding the playback up to 1.2x normal speed made this tolerable, but not enjoyable.

Great book and fiting ending to a great series.

Great book and great performance by the voice Actresses. Riveting action and awnsers to questions I've been asking since I read the first Mortal Engines book.

an amazing series of mystery and delight

the connection it brings to the 1st series is wonderful and filling. was exciting and fascinated with the apocalypse style it is set in.

Why change the narrator?!

Ugh. The first book was great and narrated by the author who was fabulous, then the second book had a great female narrator, but I just started the third and the new narrator is AWFUL. Ridiculously over dramatic, all the characters sound like complete morons and I can hardly dear to keep it on. Whyyyy

Great story that continues the Fever Crumb saga

Philip Reeves tells a very stirring and suspenseful story. Fever finally gets to grow into her own…Was grateful for the strong characterization. Story was often sad but hopeful.

5 stars for the story, neg 10 for the narrator

The first 2 books, the narrators were great. This one was painful but I was already invested in the series, so suffered through this one just to listen to the story. Should have read it myself but already purchased the audio book. Holy ridiculous affectations, did the narrator even follow the previous 2 books?

We love this series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

My children and I love this whole series. Philip Reeves creates a whole amazing world, similar enough to ours that it is families, yet alien.

What other book might you compare Scrivener's Moon to and why?

The Predator Cities series, also by Philip Reeves. Why aren't they on Audible!

Great book!!

Great story, that really ties it all together, felt like a movie playing in my head.

Irritating narrator

A good end to the trilogy, though I’d love to read more. But the narrator drove me crazy. She did ok with the voices, but when reading the prose, her inflections made it sound like she was reciting in a poetry slam. I much preferred the reader of book two, Jenny Agutter. It was almost a relief to reach the end of this book, though the story was riveting.

Was ok

it was interesting, but not sure wether to give 3.5 or 4 stars. I dislike Charlie with a passion, almost as much as i hate Amazon being being piles of poop
