Fireborne is a compelling look at the rebuilding of a political system, and the consequences of such a perilous endeavor. Lee and Annie rush to prove themselves fit for the position of Firstrider in a dragon army, and their competition is set against a backdrop of political upheaval and great change.

So frequently we see stories set as the old, corrupt regime is taking its last breaths. Fireborne dares to ask hopeful, powerful questions by launching us straight into the fledgling first days of an establishing system. And it does not shy away from the complications and harsh implications of the ties between the two regimes.

A war is coming - another kind of dragon. And the interpersonal relationships that make this story work are suddenly tested.

A great read, with engaging worldbuilding and exciting plot twists.
