What this book is about
The second Leviathan novel takes Alek and Deryn to the Ottoman Empire as WWI intensifies. Westerfeld's steampunk alternate WWI continues to delight with its mechanical Clankers and biological Darwinist creatures, while the story deepens and the stakes rise. Thompson's illustrations remain exceptional.
