review 1: In this follow-up to Fledgling, Theo attends flight academy and learns more about the world and socializing. She really is something of an introvert, as well as a naturally gifted pilot, and those traits don't always help her win friends. In addition, while we see a bit of her pa...

review 1: This is not a good book to jump into this series since there is so much back story with Theo and the entire Korval clan. That being said this is a great universe and I really enjoyed reading it and can't wait for the next book. The story shows Theo developing into a captain of he...
