I just wanted to make a post showcasing some of my favorite illustrations by Keith Thompson for the Leviathan Trilogy.

The art went so hard in these books, it’s crazy. The plot is basically an alternate universe WW1 about the major two powers, the Darwinists, and the Clankers. The Darwinists genetically engineered animals to fight for them creating huge flying whale battleships, while the Clankers made huge robot mechs and powerful guns. A few historical people and places show up in these books, like Nikola Tesla.

But my favorite parts of the books were the art, truly breathtaking, it was beautifully grotesque at times. But that’s not unexpected, after all Keith Thompson helped create the design of Moder from The Ritual!

Dalek Week 2022 Day 3 - "There is no flag big enough to cover the shame of killing people."

-

AN ENTIRE YEAR LATER, I remembered that I did not post this piece from last year’s Dalek Week 🫣

Alek didn’t kill in the name of a flag, he killed for someone he loved. and that’s romance, baby!

I can feel myself gearing up for my biannual Leviathan reread....

Would anyone be interested in me live-blogging it again? It'll be at least my fourth time all the way through, but the last time I live-blogged it was back in 2018 and 6 years is a lot of time for new jokes. Vote now on your phones

(If I do end up live-blogging it I'll tag everything "lily liveblogs leviathan 2024" for all your filtering needs)

#leviathan series #leviathan trilogy #I don't plan for it to be a full reread every two years it just sort of pans out that way

Today on “books I adore but don’t see talked about nearly enough”, does anyone else still think about the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld daily? Because oh my gosh I love those books.

More steampunk media in general, please!

I'm on Goliath (Book 3 of Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy series) and I just love how Deryn is the symbol of progressiveness/modernity.

I'm listening to Alek explain to Deryn the meaning of the Habsburg crest as it is used now by "modern" royals and I can't help thinking that Alek and Deryn are like the two heads of this bird. Different from each other, but better together and one without the other is like missing a limb.

I was going to write about how different Deryn and Alek are, but honestly, they share a lot of similarities too. Alek is all heart and Deryn is clearly the brains AND brawns, but they're both so equally smart and quick-thinking and loyal. Both orphans and thrusts into situations that are too big for them but managing and just looking for someone to call family.

I honestly forgot how much I loved them.

If you were obsessed with the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld as a kid/teen you're either bisexual or trans now

The Leviathan Trilogy was a bunch of books that laid on my shelf when I was young back in 2013 that I never bothered myself to read, I wasn't really into books, and my sister just brought it for herself and eventually gave it to me.

I'm much older now and I finally took the effort to read through it and I got hooked on this hidden gem. I loved the fusion of WW1 diesel-punk and bio-punk, I loved the scheming and craftiness of Count Volger and Dr Barlow and I especially loved the growing relationship between the disguised Scottish soldier girl, Deryn and Alek, the son of an Austrian Archduke. The storm scene in Goliath was such a beautiful scene, you know the one. I never thought storms and lightning could be so romantic. Such a great pay off for the connection that was brewing for the entire trilogy that was founded off trust and the sheer tenacity to save the arses of one another.

Those two are one of the few characters that had me so emotionally affected and perhaps it was because I had this trilogy for so long and I wondered how the story would end while I left it unfinished on my shelf.

I'm glad everything worked out for the two.

Sometimes I remember that Scott Westerfeld as an author exists and no one appreciates him enough and I just get sad about it

#Zeros trilogy #Uglies trilogy #leviathan trilogy #Scott Westerfeld #literally all three of the these are some of my all time favorite book series #the romantic aspects of them sucks #but everything else about them is too good for me to care #the AA scene in swarm will forever live rent free in my head #What a Villain scene #Uglies being a dystopia you’d want to live in before the reveal happens is so *chefs kiss* #Leviathan’s world building is unparalleled #all of his books have unparalleled world building tbh #that trilogy just did it best #books #reading
