Deryn has feelings for Alek, which is complicated because Alek thinks she's really a boy. Lilit has feelings for Deryn, which is also complicated because she too thinks Deryn is a boy! Congratulations, Mr. Westerfeld, this is one love triangle that doesn't totally suck!

"It was the first underwater apparatus created from fabricated creatures. The suit had been woven from salamander skin. The rebreather itself was practically a living creature, a set of fabricated gills that had to kept wet, even in storage."

That awkward moment when Prince Alek insisted he could pass himself off as a commoner, and then realized that he didn't even know the first names of anyone on his staff... Priceless!

Those message lizards are so cute, how they're always chattering and eager to carry out their mission! Wait, no wonder I get such a kick out of the message lizards...they remind me of those lovable minions!

Wow...only three chapters in, and there's already been a battle between a living airship and two steampunk monstrosities, one of which actually fires lightning at its enemies!

Absolutely loved "Leviathan"! Hoping the next book in the trilogy is just as good! :D
