As brilliant as a firebird, These Feathered Flames has all the elements I love in young adult fantasy: lyrical prose, a unique spin on folklore, and the complicated relationship between sisters. From the first page to the last, Overy's debut will have readers burning to know what happens next. --Mara Rutherford, author of the Crown of Coral and Pearl duology These Feathered Flames is a beautiful story of sisterhood, court intrigue, and ancient magic that simultaneously draws on established folklore and breathes new life into it. With luscious worldbuilding and two skillfully crafted heroines that will ensnare your heart, this book is a fantastic start to a new series! --Kalyn Josephson, author of The Storm Crow duology An engrossing fantasy tale about sisterhood and what it means to be able to fully trust another person. --School Library Journal
