![]() It may be targeted to YA readers, but you don't have to be a young adult to get absorbed in the fantastic world-building or the excellent illustrations, and Alek and Deryn as a duo are just way too good together to ignore. ![]() ![]() It's a series that started out good but disjointed, but has since become a rip-roaring adventure that's utterly difficult to book down. My Rating: ExcellentThis was an utterly enjoyable conclusion on so many different levels. The tension thickens as the Leviathan steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic onboard: secrets suddenly unravel, characters reappear, and nothing is at it seems in this thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s brilliant trilogy. (She has to pose as a boy in order to serve in the British Airforce.) And if they weren’t technically enemies. And the love thing would be a lot easier if Alek knew Deryn was a girl. The first two objectives are complicated by the fact that their ship, the Leviathan, continues to detour farther away from the heart of the war (and crown). The premise: ganked from BN.com: Alek and Deryn are on the last leg of their round-the-world quest to end World War I, reclaim Alek’s throne as Prince of Austria, and finally fall in love. ![]()
