Skyhunter follows a Striker named Talin who is a mute refugee living in Mara. The Federation is threatening to take over Mara. Talin is looked down by many people and should not have been chosen as a Striker, but she was granted special permission. She is one of the best Striker’s out there. One day a guy from the Federation is to be executed in front of everyone and Talin feels something for him and decides to rescue him from execution. The Firstblade punishes her by making Red her shield since her last Shield died. Talin must learn about Red and his secrets. Also, her friends and her must find a way to end the war before the Federation takes over Mara.
It took me a while to finish Skyhunter because there were times I didn’t vibe with the writing or felt it to be boring. It’s a fun story overall though and very creative. I enjoyed the way the Striker’s communicate with everyone with sign. I enjoyed both territories we seen and the horrors. Overall a good book. Can’t wait for the sequel.
