Not only is Deryn a girl disguised as a guy...she has feelings for Alek. The crown, true love with a commoner, and the destruction of a great city all hang on Alek's next--and final--move. The thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series, which was called "sure to become a classic" (SLJ).

Goliath was the third and final installment of the Leviathan series. It was an okay kind of book but I honestly didn't care about the whole slow romance between Deryn and Alek. I am, however, super happy he finally opened his god damn eyes and saw that Deryn was a girl. Holy shit, that took forever.The details on how the machines work was still entertaining as hell. Even though I still hate scientific shit.. I basically just nodded and agreed with everything. Like a robot that hates science. TheI felt that this series was best reviewed as one coherent narrative given the relatively short period of time the books cover, the continuous story that was told, and the similarities between them.The Leviathan series is a fun mix of steampunk, adventure, and historical/alternative history that, for the most part, delivered a satisfying and enjoyable reading experience (even if the end of the series does sink a bit too deeply into some annoying YA qualities). I was able to devour these books at
There are a lot of books that I love and a lot of series I'm especially fond of. But it takes a special book and a special series to give me the kind of massive book hangover I received after reading the final pages of Goliath.You guys, I love this series so effing much.Scott Westerfeld has created a world that I want to live in; a world I wish had really come about instead of this one (no offense to this world, but guys, there is an airship that is an entire ecosystem of living creatures HOLY
Trigger warnings: war, murder.9/8/2017On reread, I don't think I enjoyed this as much as I did last time around. A lot of the story is just the Leviathan flying from place to place - they travel from Turkey to Vladivostok to Japan to California to New York, so there's a LOT of flying - while Deryn and Alek try to keep their identities secret and work out how they feel about each other. It felt like it took a long time to actually get to the point of the story, and then everything that happens in
First and foremost I must say that Ed is awesome as he went to the NYC book expo, and then got up at 5:45am in order to make sure that I not only got an Advanced Readers copy but a personalized signed one. Ed, YOU ROCK! Now onto the book. I quite enjoyed Goliath. I floundered a bit in the beginning because it's been a while since I read the first book and since I wasn't expecting to get this one, I wasn't prepared. (It also doesn't help that the first 2 books are at my boyfriend's and I didn't
"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
And he sticks the landing! This is a fantastic end to what is possibly my favorite steampunk series. What makes these books rise to the top isn't just the fine writing. It's the whole package. The illustrations. The heavy, higher quality paper. The thoroughness of the world-building. To me, it's exactly what reading a book written in that world would be/feel/smell like. The moral feud between the Darwinists and the Clankers is endlessly fascinating, and both Deryn and Alek are wonderfully
