Has anyone else read Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld? It's a thoroughly enjoyable book, with amazing main characters: Alek, the ficitonal son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and Deryn, a girl who disguises herself as a boy to serve in the British Air Service. Setting is WWI, but there are a lot of steampunk twists to it.

Leviathan has wormed its way to my top five list, and I was wondering if anyone else around subeta liked it too. :D

I read it, loved it C: Have you read the next one?

Yes, and in my opinion it was even better than the first! I do wish Alek would figure it out, though. I mean, really, Bovril is practically TELLING him. ^_^;

I KNOW. Gosh it's so obvious lol. Guess we have to wait for Goliath to come out d:

Guess so. D: But apparently the release date has been moved forward; it's in September now instead of October. :D squees

I loved it 8D even if the writing is a bit young for my tastes, the plot and the entire idea is AMAZING!

have you read Behemoth yet?

the one thing that keeps getting to me is how Deryn's secret is still a frikin secret. I keep wanting to yell at Alek "UH DUH"

Yeah. And INORIGHT? Especially when he was like "I'm in love..."

And she was like "O_____O"

And he was like "...with a whale."

And she was like "-____________________-"

I do agree about the writing; I'd love just a bit more description and maturity (the characters seem a bit younger than they are), but still, the sheer awesomeness makes up for it. :D

I've been a Scott Westerfeild fan for years; I think I waited five years for that book to come out. XD He took forever to write it.

I have major problems with one of my friends because he's a Clanker and I'm a Darwinist. We get in arguments about who's better regularly.

I love Leviathan :) I didn't much like Behemoth, but I can't wait for Goliath! ^^ It's the only series I like that Scott Westerfeld has.
