Barking Spiders!!! This was bloody good! I love how creative this story is. This was a big turnaround from what all the bad reviews assert. This book kept me on the tips of my toes because it doesn't seem to bore me as the story goes on. Which is surprising since I read some reviews that claimed it was boring. Maybe to some, but to me it's really enthralling that this could be the future if most impossible things were possible. It's breathtaking reading this historical story. The illustrations enhanced the story. The pictures were accurate and just darn impressive. Darwinists VS Clankers!!!! 
 My first impression when I was about to read this was that I wouldn't like it and find it boring. I was a uncertain, but I thought it wouldn't hurt. I'm a person who likes to make sure if I'm going to like the book so I won't regret buying it. Though, I didn't regret it (Yay!), I was bloody happy I bought the whole series! 
 Anyway, lets move on: characters. Deryn was so barking badass! Plus, smart. I like her character. Alek was an amusing and unique character for a boy. Most boys are just, well, not like Aleksander and I'm just pleased to read the thoughts his thoughts. However, I just wish they just acted, just a little mature. 
 The plot had Deryn and Aleksander crossing paths with each other. They collided and stayed in one place which is not what I personally like. 
 Overall, I love this book and I plan to read the sequel. This was another book that astonishes me yet again!
