I have always had a soft spot for books about horses - and flying ones fills my love of fantasy as well. The people of High Meadow are trying to rebuild the population of flying horses after a horrible event (what I assume is book #1) leaves only a handful remaining. They have finally expanded to two successful barns, and there are rumors of a third - but many think it's too soon. When Nia, the potential new leader of third barn, starts to look closer she finds a whole lot of intrigue and political maneuvering for control. This part of the storyline was a little drawn out.

To counteract the slower moving intrigue side of the story, we have Owain and his history. His part of the story is a little more active than Nia's and adds the dash of excitement to keep things interesting. The stories weave together very nicely and couldn't be told without each other.

I would have liked to see more of the horses. The author gets so close to letting us really see their personalities, but never quite gets as far as I had hoped. There was a lot of potential to tap into the fun and eccentric personalities that I imagine these horses would have.
