Untethered Sky

Fonda Lee put together such an engaging world in a very small amount of pages. The character work is top tier and you really get invested. Worth a read!

I am always jealous when author can be focused and concise to write a short book in which they can build believable world, set interesting characters and make mundane things, such as training a bird, engaging.

But I am split in my thinking of the book shortness. I am disappointed that the story ended when characters where just set to be fully developed. On the other hand maybe Fonda said everything she had to say, and for me to search for more is just greedy. I am sad that it ended so soon, but good things end soon, which makes this a book good, a very good book indeed.

Cheers.

Wow, Lee's characters are wonderfully compelling and the attention to detail in the training of rocs is fascinating. The ending was heartwrenching and I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would at the beginning.
