Fantasy of Flight

Kelly St.Clare · 2017
73/100
👍 Worth It

Kelly St. Clare builds two distinct worlds with real texture and puts a protagonist worth following at the center of them — the friendship dynamics feel earned rather than convenient, and the pacing keeps things moving. Just know what you're walking into: this is book two of a series, the cliffhanger ending is real, and the mild swearing and romance make it a better fit for 16 and up than for younger teens.

✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Mild profanity and romantic content present; fantasy combat violence; cliffhanger ending requires series continuation. We still scored it 73; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
