A Ranger at last, Will is the protector of his first fief…and everything goes wrong. A renegade knight, poisoning the royal family, and holding Alyss captive.
It’s a camping trip with Chester warning everyone of the evil woods. It’s not until they set up camp near strange men and their stranger dog, that Harold begins to believe.
Will and Alyss battle growing hysteria, traitors, and time. The king is fading, but when Alyss is taken hostage, Will must choose between loyalty to his mission or his friend.
I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Source: the library Behemothby Scott Westerfeld steampunk in a hardcover edition that was published by Simon Pulse on October 5, 2010 and has 481 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon Other books by this author which I have reviewed include GoliathSecond 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.
BEWARE THE HARE! Is he or isn’t he a vampire?
