All my interest just drained away because it didn't bother to stand out.
Other than that, it wasn't like the novel was written poorly. There were lots of opportunities for the novel to break off in new directions.ĭo we really want another story about a squad of outsider tribals trying to save the misunderstood animal species from the other tribals? Substitute pieces at your convenience. Seriously, I wanted more flight and a story that wasn't exactly like EVERY OTHER recently popular dystopian YA novel. The worldbuilding is probably the best part of the novel, but it is mostly there in the background, and it went deep enough to flog my waning attention. She can choose to level up with tattoos that give her better blah blah at the risk of blah blah, she'll have to remain outside of the regular caste and Sing. Later on, the plot remains absolutely scrutable. serious consequences are all in the dashed expectations: The MC and ME. there was a little flying, but it was like listening to a game. Huh? Am I reading YA? Trials, graduation, snobby rich kids, dashed expectations. Instead, I'm introduced to a completely forgettable and utterly predictable plot, with: A Chosen One. A whole world of fliers! This could be utterly awesome, giving me lots and lots of necessary extrapolations and unusual twists and turns, whether societal, setting, or even character-centered." I thought to myself, "Oh wow, a society of fliers. Kirit begins to doubt her world and its unassailable Laws, setting in motion a chain of events that will lead to a haunting choice, and may well change the city forever - if it isn't destroyed outright. In an attempt to save her family from greater censure, Kirit must give up her dreams to throw herself into the dangerous training at the Spire, the tallest, most forbidding tower, deep at the heart of the City.Īs she grows in knowledge and power, she starts to uncover the depths of Spire secrets. When Kirit inadvertently breaks Tower Law, the city's secretive governing body, the Singers, demand that she become one of them instead. Kirit Densira cannot wait to pass her wingtest and begin flying as a trader by her mother's side, being in service to her beloved home tower and exploring the skies beyond. Welcome to a world of wind and bone, songs and silence, betrayal and courage. In a city of living bone rising high above the clouds, where danger hides in the wind and the ground is lost to legend, a young woman must expose a dangerous secret to save everyone she loves.
