Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld

This is from the guy who brought The Uglies Series. Interesting story. Its got a girl dressing like a guy, a illegitimate prince on the run for his life with his fencing instructor and a mechanic, and you've also got yourself some mutated animals. And incase you are having trouble picturing the whole thing, there are illustrations scattered here and there throughout the book. And there not too bad, if I say so myself. Hardy har.
It is a relatively new book. Released sometime in 2009. So most of you may not have heard of it, but if you're reading this, it means that you must have came across the name sometime, somehow. Walk past it at a bookstore, see someone read it, or having it recommended by a friend or by somebody you know. Either way, you know it now, and so I put the task upon your sholders to read it.
Here's a little spoiler: it doesn't end with that one book.
Haha, not much of a spoiler, but there is going to be another book, there has to be. People just don't leave you on a cliffhanger like that.
The book rotates between the two points of view for every few chapters. It doesn't make a lot of sense at first, but when they meet each other, it starts to piece itself together.
