Book 2 of Skybound Series
Having captured the ghost eagle, Bryson and Kylee split up. Kylee goes to the capital to train in the hollow tongue to be able to control the ghost eagle for battle. Bryson stays in Six Villages. Each is learning about themselves, how their history has developed them into an individual with motivations and how their "twin-ness" affects their individuality. Of course, in preparation for war, nothing is quite as it seems. But this middle book is, with the war plot moving the story forward, really about identity - the discovery and the integration. I appreciate the use of falconry methods and lessons as a language to think about identity and purpose. I am probably reading way more into this than a simple fantasy series warrants, but ... that's who I am :) By the end, Kylee and Bryson are reunited, and ready to start on yet another trek.
3 stars (out of 4)
