At almost 16, Zoё Sorenson has a bit more on her mind
than
most teenagers. In the months since the Mages tried to
destroy the Pyr, they haven't made a wrong move, or indeed
any perceptible move at all. To the leader of the Pyr,
Zoё's
father, this seems proof his hastily constructed treaty is
doing its job. To Zoё it feels ominous, especially
when a
known Mage at her school makes a point of inviting her to a
Halloween party. It soon becomes clear Mages are targeting
Zoё while her wings are tied by the Covenant. The same
Covenant that has her lying to her best friend Meagan on a
daily basis.
When things go from bad to dangerous, she can't turn to her
father for help. Right after he forbade her to shift into
dragon form, he left for London, hoping to convince
Zoё's
mother to return and give their marriage another chance.
Hot, 20-year-old motorcycle-riding Jared, a mage-talented
musician has not been in touch other than a terse reply to a
text. When he and his group come into town, Zoё knows
if she
can only get a good look at the ancient book on the Pyr he
carries it may give her insight into her role as the Wyvern,
the sole female Pyr who is meant to protect and guide the
dragons. Of course it is not her only reason, she also wants
to find out if he really feels anything for her or is just
interested in her knowledge.
WINGING IT, Book two of the Dragon Diaries, continues with
the fascinating characters introduced in first book, while
adding in a few new faces. Cooke's deliciously complex plot
immerses those who met Zoё in the first of the series,
Flying Blind further into the world of the Pyr while
revealing the faces of other types of shifters living hidden
among the humans. Her clever ability to convey what it means
to be going on sixteen while being faced with dark world-
altering dilemmas has created a unique and compelling young
adult series bursting with magic, mayhem and danger. It will
hold pride of place on my keeper shelf. Book three, Blazing
the Trail is due out June, 2012.
As her sixteenth birthday nears, Zoe¨ Sorensson yearns to
come into her powers as the only female dragon shifter, but
keeping her true nature hidden from her best friend, Megan,
becomes more complicated as Zoe¨ is targeted by the Mages
and Megan is invited into their trap.
