Living in the post-revolution world that killed his father, Lee (17yo) is fighting for the position of Firstrider that has used to be called his birthright. Given chances she never would have been allowed to dream of under the old regime, Annie (16yo) fights for the chance to become Firstrider. She is proud to be a dragonrider, despite the fact that dragonfire killed her family.
With secrets, imminent war, questions of whether a post-revolution world really is better than the rulers overthrown only nine years ago, Munda gives readers everything they need—plus dragons! The victories are the highest of highs, and the disappointments are the lowest of lows as these teenagers struggle to understand the political demands of their positions and reconcile duty with morality. I enjoyed every page, and I have no doubts that the sequel is just as good.
Lee is described as pale, Duck is described as having a tan complexion, Rock has fair skin, and Miranda has a warm brown complexion. The mature content rating is for alcohol use, innuendo, and kissing. The violence rating is for assault, fantasy violence and fantasy terrorism, blood and gore, mentions of suicide, and murder.
