Enjoyable fantasy story.
Kiva’s story as the only female windwalker of her times was a wonderful read.
She has saved her people many times but still the conservative men look upon her with anger.
Now when a new challenge comes to their land, Kiva has to ignore all that and protect her people.
The story was complex, intricate and had enough twist and turns to keep it unpredictable till the very end. The characters, especially Kiva was very well etched. Her sarcasm and the way she handled her problems were penned very well. Loved it.
I love this book it just goes to show you what a girl can do if she sets her mind to it. 🙂
Excuse me? You have no right to destroy my heart. I didn’t give you permission.

WHY HAVE I NEVER READ H. G. CHAMBER’S BOOKS BEFORE???! That was amazing. That was devastating. That was invigorating. That was inspiring. But most of all that was to die for.
I knew as soon as I picked the book up that this was for me. It was written for me. My type. I have never loved the fantasy description of a book more. It had FLYING KIRAEEN. UMMM… hello??? Anything that FLYS, and has a WARRIOR INSTINCT, and acts like TOOTHLESS, is perfection. This book had it all!! *screeches*
The description was radical. Did I mention that I died?? Because I did. I felt like I was flying. Like I was the one bonding with the Kiraeen. Like I was the one falling through air currents, gripping the wind, dancing in the sky. Doing acrobats on Kiraeen. It was magical, perfect, lovely. I’ve never been so engrossed in details before. I was eating it up.
The content wasn’t bad. It wasn’t anything really. Two or three minor kissing scenes. A couple fighting scenes that got detailed weirdly. And the talk of war. This book wasn’t gory. It was clean. DID YOU HEAR ME???! THIS IS A CLEAN YA SERIES. CLEAN.
The romance I found to be amazingly perfect. Basically forbidden love, typical right? Not. I loved their relationship. I loved it. The love was not extravagantly detailed. It was straight to the point, and very firm. ((**second reread** The romance was unbelievable…..and hard to grasp. They based it off of temporary things. While I could enjoy it in part, it wasn’t perfect. It was nearly insta love… ;P))
The characters were so real. I am going to read this book so many times ( or if not that replay the scenes over and over in my head while telling the story to others ). Yes, the characters are to die for. So deeply heartfelt, and soul crushing. I died – if you didn’t know – and it’s mainly the character’s fault. ( Also the description + creatures + author, but mainly the characters ).
Kiva ~ Do you know how many times I was screeching in excitement at her warriorness????!! I can’t tell you because I didn’t keep track. Just know it was a lot. She was burdened by everything and most everyone around her as their opinions and poisonous actions nearly drove her to death. But she didn’t give up. She didn’t grow faint. She pressed on. Like the warrior she was, and I died because if it.
Jonah ~ Yes. I’m in love for Kiva. He rides a Kiraeen, also he’s a WARRIOR and is passionate about things. Have I said enough? DID I CONVINCE YOU THAT HE’S AMAZING??! No? He also has courage far beyond anyone else. Courage and humility. He is bonded to a Kiraeen that acts like Toothless.
Noor ~ Love. So much love. GAH, SHE IS PERFECT FOR KIVA!! I love her personality so much. Hardened warrior, capable Kiraeen, made of tough stuff. You can’t break her, and you certainly can’t beat her. *grins*
Mica ~ I was slightly suspicious at first, I honestly don’t know why. But yes, I was nervous to allow my heart to accept him. However at the end he was good. And now I’m good. But I’m dead so I’m not good. Where’s the next book???! *coughs* So yeah, he’s a Shadestalker. Not as amazing as a WindWalker, but still. Amazing enough.
I can talk about all the characters I loved, just know they were all this amazing and overall this book is perfection!!
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A CLEAN YA FANTASY???! YES?? Well, you’ve come to the right book. This is perfect for you. Just as it was for me. *grins*
**NOTE** I actually got this for free off Amazon. So no review required. All opinions are my own and the deal was AWESOME. Because even if I didn’t get it for free I would still be willing to buy it.
Did I mention I died?
H. G. Has created an incredible world as home for wonderful characters. They face challenges of tradition, war, and love, and you will have to read the book to find out more. I hate spoilers, but I will say, I read late into the night to finish this great story. And I have more in my reading queue.
A wild ride with elements of Divergent and Dinotopia (mini-series), so much fun!
