Fans of Reeve's Hungry City Chronicles will find plenty to treasure here, but newcomers won't be left behind: Fever Crumb has lots of mysterious origins, technological wonders, and sociopolitical complexities. Touches of whimsy balance high-minded themes, and orphan Fever is a sterling example of Reeve's ability to depict the universals of human nature as shaped by an utterly foreign set of social conventions and conditions.
