Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld

Leviathan is a historical fiction book set in an alternate World War I. The Darwinists (England and it's allies) and the Clankers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, etc.) are on the brink of war. The Darwinists have kind of hybrid animals that they use as planes and a method of transport. The Clankers use machines. Deryn is pretending to be a boy in the air force, where she is placed upon the Leviathan, a giant whale, aircraft. Alek is the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, but his people have turned on hime and he's on the run. Together they meet aboard the Leviathan, and sends them on an adventure that will change their livews forever. I quite liked this book , though sometimes Deryn annoyed me, but overall I enjoyed it. I think this book is meant to be YA, though it gave off more of a middle grade vibe. 4 stars, 80%

The Revenge of Seven by Pittacus Lore

The Revenge of Seven is the 5th book in the Lorien Legacies Series. This book was released a long time ago, though I want to finish reading the series before United As One comes out. I didn't enjoy the other books in the Lorien Legacies series that much, and I still didn't love this one. I feel like it seems like the last one, but it isn't, and that they probably could have finished the series a long time ago. Despite it's flaws, The Revenge of Seven is still a strong book that has humour, action and romance. I gave this a 4 star, 78%
