sweet book submitted by Veroni2 on June 27, 2011, 5:32pm as awesome as the first book. cant wait to read the last book in the trilogy!!!

XD submitted by janaejwhite on July 1, 2011, 2:48pm I loved this book even more than Leviathan (first book in the series). Keep up the good work Scott Westerfeld!

Great submitted by Memoria1224 on July 12, 2012, 2:19pm This is terrific! It's better than the first book.

2nd in a series submitted by camelsamba on June 30, 2017, 9:11pm Scott Westerfeld really knows how to write battle scenes, even battles between imaginary fabricated beasts and mechanical contraptions. I'm not necessarily a fan of big battles, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of this book, the second installment in the Leviathan trilogy. Come for the story, stay for the illustrations.

I listened to this as an audiobook, and the reader is fabulous - comparable to Jim Dale in his ability to keep characters distinct and imbue their voices with a personality. (But you miss out on the illustrations if you listen instead of read - so keep a print edition on hand and flip through it!)
