The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . THE ONE WHO COULD NOT FLY (Wing Cycle, #1) . . . Where do I start beside this was a new fascinating world with vivid imagery. Simple to say that humans are the myths in this fantastic fantasy. Shinalea was an isolated island, until it wasn't. Ravenna was just a young isolated sylph. She was different which caused the isolation and her freedom found they were not alone on the once isolated island. The myths she thought are not myths after all. The world she felt lost in may now be lost to her forever. The world she comes to be in holds many dangers, opportunities, confusions, and more.

I would say this was a story that could open the eyes of someone lost, confused about the difference of the world around them. Open their eyes to the struggles of others my just be similar to their own.

Anne Marie Lewis, it was nice to meet you through your voice. I felt captured by the words and the cadence of the narrators voice with the pitch, tone, intonation, and variation. I was able to visualize this world.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Audiobook Empire. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

For generations, sylphs have lived isolated on the island of Shinalea, forgotten by the world. But they, too, have forgotten their past. Until it rears its head and changes the very foundations of their world....

Ravenna has grown up isolated and ostracised amongst the sylphs for her small wing size and her unusual colouring. She lives with the Intellecti, a collection of sylphs dedicated to learning, to facts, to history, to thought. But she feels most free when she runs through the trees of her beloved home. Until, that is, she comes across beings that should have been myth. Humans.

Captured, Ravenna is taken from her home and into the vastness of the desert mainland. She is sold into slavery and thrown into a world that proves everything she knew about the humans right: They are nothing more than the cruel, bloodthirsty beings that filled sylph myths with horror. Until, that is, Ravenna makes a single mistake. She falls.

Suddenly, the world is not quite what she knew. Ravenna is thrust into this world of humans and their schemings for power, their political machinations, their hopes, their dreams.

Ravenna must decide whether humans are the nightmares of her people’s legends or just beings like her, finding their place in an unexpected world. And she must decide whether to save her world, or to destroy it.

The One Who Could Not Fly is an exciting fantasy adventure that asks questions of family, of independence, and of what it really means to fly.

E.G. Stone is an independent author who has been writing, creating and causing vast amounts of trouble since the age of six. Since then, E.G. has improved rather a lot in both the trouble-causing and writing and now spends her time writing fantasy and science fiction. When not writing, she is off musing about the workings of languages, both real and created, or drawing and sewing. E.G. reads voraciously, perhaps to the point of slight-insanity. Weird, nerdy, perhaps a little crazy, she is having a grand old time writing, reading, reviewing, interviewing, and, naturally, continuing her endeavours in causing trouble. Happy reading… and writing.
