Read this book using Google Play Books app on your PC, android, iOS devices. She wants to fly, and she wants to help her city. Updraft: A Novel - Ebook written by Fran Wilde. Kirit, the protagonist, is fully rounded: physically strong through long training, intelligent but not always prudent, incredibly resilient when everything but the kitchen sink gets thrown at her. Thematics of loyalty, love, balancing self and collective, and above all, perseverance and understanding when and how to sacrifice, and understanding how your own history influences those choices, permeate the book. Spires of bone that form a city above the clouds, sewn wings for flying and bridges between spires, rules and laws, the struggle between speaking and silence when it matters most, and the importance of screaming once in a while for good reason. Fran Wilde writes pretty sentences, and ties them together to make you care about the characters and the world intensely.
