Rebel Skies by Ann Sei Lin
4.0
“We are of stardust
Forged and formed from the heavens
Universe made flesh”
Spirited Away meets Kubo and the Two Strings Ghibli-style meets steampunk fantasy YA adventure novel featuring dragons, Origami magic, Japanese mythology and folklore, and cities in the sky.
This was a beautifully imagined and intricate world with an incredibly unique paper magic system rife with intrigue and secrets and immersive battle scenes. I loved the adventure our heroine, Kurara went through to try and her get friend back. From page one she was loyal to a fault, determined, and the way she persevered through all the challenges thrown her way had me rooting for her from page one.
While the setting, the world, and magic system were fully realized there were quite a large number of characters and many of them weren't given enough screen time that I feel as if cutting down the multitude of characters introduced would've made for a much stronger novel.
Nonetheless, this was a joy to read through and I can't wait to read the next in the series.
