In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke, story-driven adventure. 'Mortal Engines' is more concerned with airships and danger than with modern ideological trends, a rarity these days. Strong on plot, low on agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Mortal Engines' focuses on world-building, adventure, and character development, not on ticking identity boxes. Characters’ identities serve the story rather than dominate it, and merit, flaw, and growth are distributed fairly across the cast. No sense of forced diversity or contemporary ideological themes compromising the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While critical of certain institutions (as is common in dystopias), the book does not set out to mock traditional family, religion, or masculinity. Moral frameworks reflect more universal themes of ambition, regret, and redemption, not modern ideological talking points.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no preachy consensus here. Perspectives clash, characters have believable flaws, and neither tradition nor progressivism is cartoonishly villainized. The world invites debate over morality and survival; nobody is lecturing about 21st-century social issues.
