I've been wanting to read more Steampunk so since I heard some good things about Leviathian and the airships in it intrigued me, I decided to give it a try. I didn't particularly enjoy it though like I thought I would, for a couple of reasons. One, I thought it was suppose to be a YA book but its si...

it might be a mistake to rate or review Young Adult (YA) fiction. teenagers are far noisier and chattier than adults, so the consequence of merely adding a few YA titles to your list is that the GoodReads landing page (the page that appears after you sign-in) becomes constantly renewed with 13 years...

This is a very solid young adult book, with not too much romance shoehorned in. (That is to say, there is some romance, and it feels very shoehorny, but is on the brief side. This book in particular feels like it could have skipped the burgeoning of the feelings without in anyway detracting from the...
