The Burning Sky
by Sherry Thomas
I really enjoyed this! It was YA without being "YA." I was really skeptical about reading it because, while I really love Sherry Thomas, I wasn't so sure about the blurb and the cover. I'm not so much into fantasy, especially YA fantasy, these days. I think the blurb and cover do a huge injustice to the book, though! The book is largely set in Victorian England at Eton! It's not the overwhelming new world that I thought it would be at first. It's sort of Harry Potterish in that it's the world you know combined with a magical alternate world.
Anyway, if you're on the fence, give it a try. It's not what you expect.
Oh, and that prologue? Amazing.
