Finally finished Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. It's a very young YA steampunkish alternate history book set in 1914 at the beginning of WWI. World was unique with man-made creatures and steampunk machines. Explanations were simple enough for young readers. Story continues in his next book but it doesn't end on a cliffhanger. And I must say the illustrations throughout the book by Keith Thompson were excellent especially the end pages. Overall a satisfying read if a bit too YA for me. Rated C [3 stars]
