Fireborne is a series that is about two teenagers - Lee and Annie - from different classes who were given the opportunities to become dragon riders, sort of. Really, it is about the construction of an "equal society" based on the ability to take a test and what happens when that society is tested by war.
I found this series stress inducing in the best way. This was a reread and I was just as sucked into this story as the first time. Lee and Annie constantly had to weave their way through situations where there is no right answer and grappling with how those decisions affect others. It's a tough book to read and I am both excited and terrified of the sequel - hence why I haven't picked it up.
