Set far in the future, the sequel to Fever Crumb brings us to when Fever is sixteen years old. The highly rational Engineer is now working and living with a group of traveling performers. When she arrives in the city of Mayda, she finds out that there is a man named Arlo Thursday working furiously to rediscover the lost secret of flight. However, every person before him who dreamed of flight mysteriously died before they could real their goal. Fever and Arlo race to finish a flying machine amongst deadly plots and skeptical religious fanatics. There is only one thing they need to do: fly, when no one has left the ground for hundreds of years.
This book is slow to take off, but once it does, prepare for a wild ride. Fever's cold and rational character and her background may come as a bit of a shock to those who haven't read the first book, but she is surprisingly relatable. The plots takes unpredictable twists and turns, and no one that Fever meets can really be trusted. Be prepared to become annoyed with several of the characters! A Web of Air is a great read for anyone, but be sure to read Fever Crumb first so as to understand the setting and Fever's background.
4 stars
