Review Detail

Leviathan is a book set in World War Two, but is set in a place that is sorta like a parallel universe. Where the German side uses steam-powered warships, and are called Clankers, and the English, also called the Darwinists, who use fabricated beasts made from pre-existing animals. Some of the pictures of the Darwinists animals are quite...., well disturbing, and they might make you feel quite queasy.

I love the idea of this book! I loved how Scott Westerfield made Deryn a girl disgusing as a boy. I love characters like this, it makes them so determined to do what they feel is right, and to rebel against the stereotyped thinking of girls in this time.

I loved both of the main characters, they both were very different, and I liked that so much. I think this book was amazing, and I hope that my library has the next one in it somewhere. I hope...
