The Call of the Rift: Flight
La description
Seventeen-year-old Kateiko doesn’t want to be Rin anymore—not if it means sacrificing lives to protect the dead. Her only way out is to join another tribe, a one-way trek through the coastal rainforest. Killing a colonial soldier in the woods isn’t part of the plan. Neither is spending the winter with Tiernan, an immigrant who keeps a sword with his carpentry tools. In a region tainted by prejudice and on the brink of civil war, she has to decide what’s worth dying—or killing—for. To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit. ly/2wmJ9vl
Reviews
“[A] stunning debut … An intricately lush and well-crafted new fantasy that deserves (and demands) a sequel.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Waller puts a great deal of thought into her world-building … A mature choice for those who love high fantasy and magical realism.” — School Library Journal
“Waller’s world-building is impressive … While the magical and romantic elements of Waller’s story are most likely to hook teen readers, it’s the commentary on colonized cultures that really sets this novel apart from other YA fantasy tales.” — Quill & Quire
“A brilliant example of contemporary fantasy. The story itself was genuinely compelling. Every setting was clearly conveyed and beautifully described.” — Bookmarked blog
“A gorgeous fantasy … I strongly recommend it to everyone who wants to read something different from the ordinary fantasy or YA novels.” — Book Daily News blog
“The Call of the Rift: Flight is a solid start to the series. I loved Kako’s journey, which truly came full circle. Each person she encounters is a fully-fleshed out character. The world-building is phenomenal! I felt as if I’d truly stepped back in time to early colonial Canada. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys alternate history and fantasy.” — YA Books Central
“Readers, young and old, are pulled into this young adult alt-historical fantasy world where the setting, characters, atmosphere, and storyline grab hold of one’s mind and heart and refuse to let go.” — The Ormsby Review
