Synopsis

A rebellious heroine faces a colonial world coming unstitched in Jae Waller's stunning debut fantasy Seventeen-year-old Kateiko doesn’t want to be Rin anymore — not if it means sacrificing lives to protect the dead. Her only way out is to join another tribe, a one-way trek through the coastal rainforest. Killing a colonial soldier in the woods isn’t part of the plan. Neither is spending the winter with Tiernan, an immigrant who keeps a sword with his carpentry tools. His log cabin leaks and his stories about other worlds raise more questions than they answer. Then the air spirit Suriel, long thought dormant, resurrects a war. For Kateiko, protecting other tribes in her confederacy is atonement. For Tiernan, war is a return to the military life he’s desperate to forget. Leaving Tiernan means losing the one man Kateiko trusts. Staying with him means abandoning colonists to a death sentence. In a region tainted by prejudice and on the brink of civil war, she has to decide what’s worth dying — or killing — for.

I really love this. It's one of those few books I've finished and thought 'What do I do now? I have nothing left to read!' - while simulataneously looking at a pile I have yet to start. It's a world that pulled me in and refused to let go. Flight opens in Anwen Bel, a place surrounded by wasteland, w......more

I'm not much of a fantasy fan. I don't go out of my way to read fantasy books or even watch fantasy movies. I read Harry Potter when I was a kid, but I never finished the series or the films (blasphemy, I know). I dabbled into Lord of the Rings and Eragon and the Sword of Truth, but ultimately found......more

Holy hell why is this book so low key!? So I know books with indigenous folklore or cultures can be very full for people or sit in that relatively unpopular "paranormal magical realism" genres but this book was FANTASTIC! All the characters were so enjoyable to read about and the mystery had me legi......more
