Windrider

Ari recently began her rookie year in the Windrider Corps, an elite airborne police force that protects the desert city of Gaobeyna. At 17, Ari is the youngest rookie on record, and has one goal: to carry forward her legendary status from the Academy and become the best protector Gaobeyna has ever known. That dream shatters when a cadet dies on her watch, sending her into self-exile in the wilderness. Meanwhile, an ancient deity lies dormant beneath Gaobeyna’s foundations. A ruthless faction has emerged in the city’s underground, and they will do anything to resurrect this malevolent force. Worse yet, their airborne lethality rivals the Windriders. When the trouble in Gaobeyna spills into the desert, Ari must choose: save the city, or save herself.

Amazing Plot Twists

I couldn't stop listening. There were incredible plot twists, and the story kept me on the edge of my seat. The only thing I didn't like 100% was the narrator only because she wasn't the greatest with voice changes, though her narration itself was good. Overall, I absolutely loved this book! It is a mix of scifi, dystopian, and fantasy all in one. I highly recommend this book!
