Skyward
(Claim the Stars #1)

rated 7/10: well worth reading
Young girl has a family history of trouble. No-one trusts her, she will never be allowed to fly. Naturally, she wants to fly.
She gets into flight school. Everything and everyone is against her, wanting her to fail... except one crusty old ex-hero. She flies, she saves the world, she restores her family reputation.
What can I say ? This is a standard I'm-really-a-princess fairy tale. Chock full of clichés. Aimed at young adults. And very enjoyable :-)
25jul22: I've re-read it. And it's still well worth re-reading :-)
A whole lot of fun.
