Rachel Neumeier’s The Floating Islands
This was an enjoyable YA fantasy about a boy whose family (and city) is killed when a volcano erupts, and so he goes to the far-off islands where his mother is from to find her family, and becomes determined to becomes one of their magic-aided fliers. Meanwhile, his (girl) cousin likes to dress up as a boy to attend educational lectures. Soon both are caught up in magic and threats of war. I did like this a lot, I just wished the emotions went a little bit deeper? But I just discovered there’s a sequel and I’m excited to see what adventures they get up to next! A-.
