My first impressions of Fledgling
I just read the first look at Fledgling and I’m really intrigued.
Cassie is a young girl reluctantly clearing up the messes her dramatic mother leaves in her wake, dreaming of the day she might leave, when one day in a rainstorm something shoots through her window.
A bundle of feathers shivers on her bed. Cassie has grown up with her grandfather’s collection of taxidermy owls, and goes over to try to identify the bird.
But on opening its four wings, staring right back at her is a baby. A cherub, by the looks of it.
She frantically taps out a morse code message to her friend from the village, Raphael, who rushes over to find Cassie, and the cherub. They set about trying to find out where this creature might have come from and what exactly it could be.
I was hooked on the preview of this novel and I’m really excited to read more. I love historical fiction, especially when there’s a magical or mythological twist to it, so Fledgling seems right up my street!
