Goliath
Goliath | Scott Westerfeld, Keith Thompson
The riveting conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s New York Times bestselling trilogy that’s “sure to become a classic” (School Library Journal).Alek and Deryn are on the last leg of their round-the-world quest to end World War I, reclaim Alek’s throne as prince of Austria, and finally fall in love. The first two objectives are complicated by the fact that their ship, the Leviathan, continues to detour farther away from the heart of the war (and crown). And the love thing would be a lot easier if Alek knew Deryn was a girl. (She has to pose as a boy in order to serve in the British Air Service.) And if they weren’t technically enemies.     The tension thickens as the Leviathan steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic on board: Secrets suddenly unravel, characters reappear, and nothing is as it seems in this thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s brilliant trilogy.

What has kept me thinking about this series all this time was Deryn's determined character and curiosity about what would happen when her secret was revealed. In this book, we finally get the answer to that question, and it's both a bit anticlimactic and a bit satisfying. The entire book is kind of like that. Some of it still was too slow for me, and yet, at the end I was happy with where the story went overall.

And here's some terrible snaps of Samson and Goliath, taken from the train in Belfast. They've been around since before I was born and are a fixture of the Belfast skyline.

Harland and Wolf (h & w) were the company that built the Titanic (but obviously not with these cranes).

AlaMich I remember seeing those when I was in Belfast about 25 years ago. 5y

The third book continued on in the delightful and fun vein of the first two. The characters were just as rich and charming as before. The world build in this series is so fantastic and unique, I truly love it. My only quibble is that I feel the ending was a wee bit rushed in the final chapters and not quite as climactic and dynamic as in the first two books. Still absolutely loved this!
