While Leviathan set the scene for our two protagonists and gave them the push that threw them together, Behemoth drops them into a revolution. In Behemoth, the second of the series, we travel away from Britain and Austria, where the first book is set, and find ourselves in early twentieth century Turkey, Constantinople to be precise. However, never have I seen the genre done quite as well, or as imaginatively as Scott Westerfeld does in his Leviathan trilogy. What’s not to love? I for one, never miss a good Steampunk novel. Crazy Victorian fashion, crossed with mind-blowing science fiction inventions, thrown into whirlwind adventures that take you this way and that across a partly-charted globe. Let’s be honest guys, Steampunk is awesome. I cannot wait for Tuesday when I can borrow the next one! I loved this book, and everyone who reads this would understand why, it is so good. I loved how Lilit (I think that is how you spell it) liked her, and I laughed at the part where she kissed her. She is different to other girls at that time, which made her even more amazing.
I love how she risked her neck to do what she loved most, flying.
This is such an awesome and brilliant concept that may be key to the future, as fabrication is starting to happen. It may go against the laws of nature, but it also makes nature more powerful. But the idea of this is amazing, and much more useful than machines that need oil and parts to run. You would think that fabricated creatures would be frowned upon by the English who created them. I loved how that was the part of the war, and it made the two sides much more different. The Darwinists and the Clanker ideas are really clever. I love how Scott Westerfeld has taken a historical event and changed it into something completely different, but so similar at the same time. See his work at is such an amazing book. Visit him at or follow him on Twitter at Thompson’s work has appeared in books, magazines, TV, video games, and films.
