[…] The Scorpion Rules was one of my favorite books of 2015, so I obviously snapped up the sequel, The Swan Riders, as soon as it showed up on Netgalley. I cannot talk about this book without giving major spoilers for The Scorpion Rules, so if you haven’t read Scorpion Rules yet, dash off and do that real quick, and meet me back here afterwards. IT IS REALLY GOOD, a take on YA dystopia that zigs when you think it will zag and values a wide range of skills and values (i.e., there’s a character who perpetually rages against the machine, and there’s characters who recognize that this isn’t always the best strategy to get what you want).

I really want to read this because it is by Erin Bow. I have been a chicken and no picked it up yet because it is by Erin Bow. She wrung my heart with Plain Kate and broke its with Sorrow’s Knot. I am pretty sure this series will leave it in smithereens.
