Book Review: Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld

This story is an alternate version of World War 1.

When Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie are assassinated, it throws the entire continent of Europe into war. It sets Clankers, war machines, verses Darwinists, fabricated beasts. Deryn Sharp is an amazing airman and wants to join the British Air Service. However, only boys are allowed to join, so she disguises herself as a girl. While undertaking a test to join the Air Service, she ends up on the Leviathan, the most amazing beast in the entire British fleet. The Archduke’s son, Alek, is running away with his mentors and a Stormwalker. While hiding out in a castle in the mountains, the Leviathan crashes near his temporary home. He meets Deryn, and their fates intertwine.

The suspense and secrets in this book are abundant while the action keeps it fast paced. Hold on, as Scott Westerfeld takes you on an adventure aboard the Leviathan. - Shabab (Sunset Teen)
