My review of WINDRUNNERS DAUGHTER By Bryony Pearce

WINDRUNNERS DAUGHTER
By Bryony Pearce

A sabotaged colonization attempt leaves the last humans in the universe stranded on Mars. Braving a half-terraformed atmosphere, terrifying indigenous species, and a colony government that is openly hostile, a young girl named Wren must defy tradition to save her mother and perhaps, every human left. 

 It is forbidden for women to steal the wings that allow a select group of runners to carry messages and goods between colonies. It is forbidden to cross the wastes with a sand storm on the horizon and it is certainly forbidden to share the secrets of the windrunners with those who spend their entire lives in the biospheres. 
But what choice does she have?



MY THOUGHTS…


*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review*

Traveling around Mars would be hard enough challenge on its own.
Traveling around Mars in mid-air, using wings that don’t belong to you, with a man who has never flown before, is near on impossible.

Wren takes on the impossible task of flying across Mars to find her brothers and her father, who haven’t returned from their last flight yet. The only problem – girls aren’t allowed to fly. So, stealing her brothers training wings, she leaps off the platform and into the wind, picking up a follower on the way…

My favourite characters were Raw, Jay and Cole.
Raw seemed nice, and he was concerned for Wrens safety, even when he was in more danger than she was. I felt sorry for him when I read about his past and he became my favourite character.
Jay and Cole, like Raw, were always concerned for Wrens safety and I cried when I read about what happened to Cole and how Jay coped with it.

This is one of my favourite books and I Highly Recommend it to anyone.
