Book Review: Scott Westerfeld’s Behemoth

Book Review: Scott Westerfeld’s Behemoth

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.
