Couldn't finish. It's due back at the library and is the first in the series and to be honest I couldn't stick the Groundling language. "I be..." "Us is..." etc. It was doing my head in. I liked the beginning scenes with Az at home though. The characters were confusing as well, Steamarm, the Deacons, there wasn't enough distinction between them.

The lone wingless boy in a sky society must travel to the surface of the planet, which has long been hidden from the Airborn people by unbroken clouds, after the supply lines from the surface begin to slow.For more mature/advanced readers that are fans of city of ember, atherton: house of power

Idéen bag denne historie er egenligt ret god - men også ret hurtig at gennemskue, da den følger meget nøje samme skabelon som de mange andre bøger i denne genre.
Og nøj hvor jordboernes møde at tale på irriterer mig.
Det ødelagde mit læseflow godt og grundigt.

The Fledging of Az Gabrielson by Jay Amory.
I bought this book because it had an amazing cover, and I paid just 3,50€ for 450 pages of book on @livrariawook website.
And for that price I thought that maybe it wouldn't be a nice book but I was totally mistaken.
It's a very interesting reading about evolution. And how higher castes still need and will always need the lower castes to survive.
It's very attractive to read all the dichotomy Ground and Air. And how the Airborn society is very different from the Groundling one.
I love the biological and anatomical evolution and how there's still genetic errors that end up in amazing people!
I finished it like 10 days ago and I was very sad to find out the Portuguese editor had not translate the other books on the collection. Not that I have any problem reading in English but now my books will look ugly on my shelf. 😫😫. I'm looking forward to know how the story moves on. If Az and Cassie will meet again. I do hope so. And how the revolution moves on now that their leadar disappeared. Oh, and Aurora and Michael. I'm really shipping them!
