Review

“Teens will relate to these characters and the universal themes of peer pressure, family problems, and the search for identity.”—Starred, VOYA


From the Hardcover edition.

Product Description

DANICA SHARDAE IS an avian shapeshifter, and the golden hawk’s form in which she takes to the sky is as natural to her as the human one that graces her on land. The only thing more familiar to her is war: It has raged between her people and the serpiente for so long, no one can remember how the fighting began. As heir to the avian throne, she’ll do anything in her power to stop this war—even accept Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, as her pair bond and make the two royal families one.

Trust. It is all Zane asks of Danica—and all they ask of their people—but it may be more than she can give.

The frist time I read this book was 5 years ago and I loved it, it drew me in in an instant. It touched my heart and soul. The characters come to life and are with you always. I laughed, I cried, I couldnt wait to turn the next page. The charachters are so real you actually feel as though you right there in the story sharing in there triumpts and struggles. I read this book at least once a year because it is one of my favorites and the complete series is in my collection and has a perminet place. READ THIS BOOK YOU WONT REGRETE IT!

I first read this book when I was twelve. Granted, I did not understand many parts and it was a difficult read, but I fell in love with the characters, plot, and story. This is a wonderful read no matter what your age - even now, midway through college, I find myself picking up my Kindle and rereading Hawksong when I need to lose myself in a book.

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is a wonderful storyteller. The reader finds themselves immersed in Avian and Serpentine society, unable to put down the book until the very last page. Subtle hints to adult issues can be found throughout, thus making the novel not be boring to adults and yet still appropriate for a younger audience.

I have read this book at least fifty times, and know that I will read it at least fifty more.

5.0 out of 5 stars third time reading this book at least!, January 9, 2011
