In an alternate 1914 Europe, fifteen-year-old Austrian Prince Alek, on the run from the Clanker Powers who are attempting to take over the globe using mechanical machinery, forms an uneasy alliance with Deryn who, disguised as a boy to join the British Air Service, is learning to fly genetically-engineered beasts.

Review of 'Leviathan' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

unfortunately, I was unable to finish the book. It started off brilliantly, and I love the idea of the Clankers and the Darwinists - and I really liked the incredibly creative creatures the Darwinists come up with. But scenes between characters were falling flat and feeling forced, and I just found myself not wanting to open up the book anymore.
