Description

It is the cusp of World War I, and all the European powers are arming up. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their "Leviathan" is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.Aleksandar Ferdinand, prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battle-torn Stormwalker and a loyal crew of men.

Deryn Sharp is a commoner, a girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She's a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered.

With the Great War brewing, Alek's and Deryn's paths cross in the most unexpected way...taking them both aboard the "Leviathan" on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure. One that will change both their lives forever.

I didn't like what I managed to read of this book. I put it down just a few chapters in (which is extremely unusual for me). If I can find grammatical and spelling errors on the first page of the book, I know there are going to be some issues. The editors didn't do a very good job in finding the correct spelling, which really bugs me because IT IS THEIR JOB! I got so irritated while noticing these things that I couldn't stand reading it anymore. Some of my friends made a recap of the story for me, so I know the basic storyline. And that sounds pretty good; but I just couldn't get past all the mistakes. That is why I'm giving this book a 2.
