4.5

TL;DR: A young woman saves the life of a prisoner of war and is assigned to be his partner. As they learn to fight together, their bonds are tested by an inability to communicate and old prejudices.

I would love to see this book turned into a visual creation. I think the concept of the Skyhunter, the war machine, would be so interesting to see brought to life in a visual format.

This was SO GOOD! Perhaps the best prologue I’ve ever read? When I got home from work after starting it, I had to read the prologue to my mom because it was so perfect. And the story didn’t ever lag from there. It was unique and completely captivating. The Ghosts remind me of a mix between the monsters from The Last of Us and Game of Thrones 👀
