I have to say I that I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series. I dont think that it is for everyone, as it is quite odd, but I know I quite liked it. Rating clarification: 4 & ½ starsPlotI cannot speak highly enough of the plot. It completely captivates you, and is action-packed from start to finish, there is never a dull moment from cover to cover. If you are looking for an easy and fun page turner, look no further!Potential spoilers ahoy. In this installment, Alec figures out that DarrinI think everyone else has summed up the plot and highlights pretty well, but what really struck me (in the "OMG, this is amazing" way) was the nonchalant disposal of gender norms and most heteronormative ideas. The exchange between Lilit and Deryn was particularly striking (paraphrased because I already returned the book to the library): Lilit: You do make a dashing boy, you know. Deryn: I don't think Alek wants a dashing boy. Lilit: You'll never know unless you ask him! As I was gushing about
Review originally posted on The Book Smugglers HEREWARNING: there will be necessary spoilers for books 1 and 2. If you havent read this series yet and dont want to be spoiled, do not read on. You have been warned!Goliath is the final instalment in the Leviathan trilogy and after loving Leviathan and Behemoth so much, I was on tenterhooks, waiting to see how everything would be wrapped up.Leaving the revolution in Istanbul behind, our intrepid protagonists Alek and Deryn go back to their (now)
This trilogy has been very up and down for me. The first book grabbed me because of the vivid world, with its rival steampunk Clankers and genetically-altered Darwinist creatures. The characters didn't appeal to me that much. That changed in the second book, as Alek and Deryn each grew up in different ways. My initial thought of the third book? It's long. It feels unnecessarily dragged out so that it can show half of the planet and cameos of famous people of the 1910s, though I did appreciate
"Reality had no gears, and you never knew what surprises would come spinning out its chaos." Dear Alek, I know in my review for Behemoth I told you that I was going to dedicate this final review to you and I would think of a theme tune for you. Well, I havent. I thought that, instead of writing a proper review that will help readers decide whether to read this book or not (youd think this was a review site or something), Id write you a letter.Its not going to be a fancy one (or one with
SCOTT WESTERFELD, WHY YOU SO AMAZING? Like, seriously. It's not fair.I don't think I've ever been disappointed by a Scott Westerfeld book. Sure, some are better than others, but they always have such awesome world-building, they're always exciting, and they're always a ton of fun to read. It's hard to beat his previous series like Uglies and Midnighters, but I think he just may have done it with the Leviathan trilogy.First of all, the premise is so freaking awesome I want to explode when I think
