Second in the Leviathan steampunk series for Young Adults.
My Take
Excellent! I do like how Westerfeld blends our version of history with his version. A very successful series of escapes, revolution, disguises, sabotage, and secrets culminating in a wee bit of disaster for Alek.
Leviathan has made it to Constantinople, I mean, Istanbul, and we are treated to a blend of mekaniks and beasties in the Ottoman Empire along with a lot of cloak-and-dagger.
Can’t wait to read Goliath, 3.
