#94 Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld

 The second book picks up right as the airship is approaching their destination. The story does have the two main characters split up for a little while but circumstances of war bring them right back together in the thick of it. Alex can't seem to keep his heritage a secret and Dylan is now being blackmailed with his secret that one person so far has found out. The illustrations in the book really give a great feel to the story. I did see  Scott Westerfeld when he was on tour for the book and he did mention that the art has changed the story in small ways when but nothing major.  An enjoyable read and I will be getting the third book when it is done.
