![]() ![]() ![]() This set my imagination running, and I was excited to find out what exactly brought the situation into being. ![]() First and foremost, I was very intrigued by the idea of a city made out of living bones, where humans live far above the ground and get around by flying. When a book receives such widespread hype, my anticipation tends to ratchet up. Upon its release, Updraft enjoyed a fair amount of positive buzz from SF/F critics and reviewers that I respect, and when it popped up on numerous “Best Books of 2015” lists, I knew I had to give it a read. Kirit begins to doubt her world and its unassailable Laws, setting in motion a chain of events that will lead to a haunting choice, and may well change the city forever-if it isn’t destroyed outright. In an attempt to save her family from greater censure, Kirit must give up her dreams to throw herself into the dangerous training at the Spire, the tallest, most forbidding tower, deep at the heart of the City.Īs she grows in knowledge and power, she starts to uncover the depths of Spire secrets. When Kirit inadvertently breaks Tower Law, the city’s secretive governing body, the Singers, demand that she become one of them instead. Kirit Densira cannot wait to pass her wingtest and begin flying as a trader by her mother’s side, being in service to her beloved home tower and exploring the skies beyond. Welcome to a world of wind and bone, songs and silence, betrayal and courage. ![]()
