Hurricane will do anything for her family. She will hunt for livestock, fly through endless storms, and glare straight into the eyes of her dangerous superiors. She will do anything to keep her father, mother, and sister alive and away from the streets. She especially will do anything for them not to know how she has kept them alive thus far, so when she is extorted and threatened by a duplicitous advisor of the reigning god in her kingdom, she leaps at the chance to meet his demands. She must defend her loved ones and her convictions against an increasingly aristocratic, prejudiced society. Will the god of the air and storm's wings shelter her? Or will they leave her like a lamb to the slaughter?

An interesting introduction to the World of the Petrichor series. Although I wouldn't give it 5 perfect stars, I think this is a book worth reading.
The prose was well-written and descriptive, something I don't see in a lot of self-published books.
The world is also unique, and I am excited to see the kingdoms Hurricane will explore in the next books.
Speaking of, it's really hard not to like Hurricane. She works hard, endures a lot of suffering to provide for her family. She is a pretty likeable character
Overall, I enjoyed this book.
A few things didn't make sense, like...Hurricane and her mom don't get mad at Dust Devil / Dandelion for hoarding gold to pay for a transition surgery. Her family is poor and starving, but when they find out a child is hoarding funds, none of them get angry (except the dad) . Eh? I mean, I get that they accept Dust Devil and stuff, but also, ya can't just hoard money for cosmetic surgery when your family's starving, ya know? Er, and doesn't Dust Devil have a tumor on her tail? Why won't she save up for that instead?
Anyway, that aside, I want to read to the next book in the series! I recommend this book for dragon and wyvern enthusiasts.
