#iremonger trilogy

Edward Carey’s Lungdon follows a mysterious family that maintains a symbiotic relationship with heaps of junk. It’s the third and last book of Carey’s Iremonger trilogy, and critic Amal El-Mohtar says it sticks the landing.

Sooty 'Lungdon' Is A Breathlessly Exciting Finale

“Edward Carey's Heap House, the first book in his Iremonger trilogy, was one of my top two books last year and left me shaking my fist at the whole tribe of trilogies for leaving me on such a note as it did,” says reviewer Amal El-Mohtar. “If you haven't read Heap House, I advise — encourage — beseech you to do so, because it is a perfect book except for the shock of it being the first book of three, and very little will make sense in Foulsham otherwise.”
