Summary
In the Clandoms, everyone is born with wings, with tight-knit communities formed around bird types: Jay, Falcon, Crow.
Ellie Meadows dreams of growing up to join the Goldwings - the famed knights who defend all the people of the Clandoms. It was a Goldwing, after all, who saved her life on that terrible day her parents were killed. There's just one problem: Ellie is a Sparrow, and the Goldwings are almost invariably picked from the higher clans like Eagles and Ospreys. This rigid hierarchy means that Ellie is destined to become a farmer.
Determined to honor her parents' memories and prove herself worthy of the Goldwings, Ellie sets out on her own for the capital.
But her journey will be dangerous. Foul creatures called gargols lurk behind every cloud, ready to slay anyone unlucky enough to be caught outside in a storm - just as Ellie's family was.
Soon her path intertwines with a colorful band of fellow outcasts, each with their own aspirations...and their own secrets. Ellie's new friends offer not just roadside companionship. They'll challenge her ideas of right, wrong, and what truly makes a hero.

Ooooooooo
This is an amazing book.
I think that this is one of my new favourites.
I loved this book mainly because it is so long. *I love a good story that takes several hours to read. (I also like the fact that their wings are themed on different birds.) Jessica should definitely make more books. Sky born sparrow rising is the best. I regretted getting it at first but 20 mins in,I was hooked. Nox could have been a bit nicer tho. I really recommend this audio book. ;):))))))))))). *i realise a book being long isn’t a very ethical reason to enjoy a book. ;).
