  2. Scott Westerfeld _ Goliath

    In their infinite wisdom, the Admiralty approved Alek's medal for bravery in the air on the very same day the United States entered the war.The timing seemed suspicious to Deryn, and of course the medal wasn't for anything useful, like shutting down Tesla's weapon to save the Leviathan. Instead Alek was to be decorated for blundering about on the ship's topside during a storm, and for his great skill in falling over and knocking himself silly. That was the Admiralty for you.

    Do you love him?"Deryn swallowed, then pointed at the screen. "He makes me feel like that. Like flying.""Then, you have to tell him.""I told you, I kissed him!""It's hardly the same.

She couldn't imagine Alek leaving her for some daft crown and scepter.
