Heir to the Sky by Amanda Sun #Review #thanks @Netgalley


Add it to Goodreads
As heir to a kingdom of floating continents, Kali has spent her life bound by limits—by her duties as a member of the royal family; by a forced betrothal to the son of a nobleman; and by the edge of the only world she’s ever known—a small island hovering above a monster-ridden earth, long since uninhabited by humans. She is the Eternal Flame of Hope for what’s left of mankind, the wick and the wax burning in service for her people, and for their revered Phoenix, whose magic keeps them aloft.

When Kali falls off the edge of her kingdom and miraculously survives, she is shocked to discover there are still humans on the earth. Determined to get home, Kali entrusts a rugged monster-hunter named Griffin to guide her across a world overrun by chimera, storm dragons, basilisks, and other terrifying beasts. But the more time she spends on earth, the more dark truths she begins to uncover about her home in the sky, and the more resolute she is to start burning for herself.

Ok so am I the only one that thinks this sounds a lot like another book with people in the sky? 
This one was actually pretty good even with the similarities between the two books. (being in the sky) but after the MC got to Earth things just kinda fell apart for me. It gave the feel of the Wizard of Oz where first things are all in black and white and then boom you get a burst of color.  So for this one its a take it or leave it. It was ok but I would check out Perfect Ruin if you want a good book about a girl in the sky.
