Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld
This is book 2 in the series/trilogy I spoke about in this post .
The behemoth is the fiercest creature in the British navy. It can swallow enemy battleships with one bite. The Darwinists will need it, now that they are at war with the Clanker powers.
Deryn is a girl posing as a boy in the British Air Service, and Alek is the heir to an empire posing as a commoner. Finally together aboard the airship Leviathan, they hope to bring the war to a halt. But when disaster strikes the Leviathan’s peacekeeping mission, they find themselves alone and hunted in enemy territory.
Alek and Deryn will need great skill, new allies, and brave hearts to face what’s ahead.
More Alek and Darren Sharp of course. 🙂
I really do love the Perspicacious loris… which I think doesn’t really show up until this book a lot.
When looking for some of my favorite quotes, I couldn’t find them.. other than “barking spiders” and using the word “daft” lol.
Oh, and I love Doctor Barlow, she’s always good for a laugh, intentionally or otherwise. 🙂
Thanks again to RO!
She’s always good at giving book suggestions! 🙂
TaTa for now,
Amanda Ellen
