Publisher Description
A new character joins the ranks of pwerful, kick-ass heroines such as those written by Tamora Pierce, Kristin Cashore, Esther Freisner, and Robin McKinley—Malora Ironbound. A great read also for anyone who loves horses and the Greek myths.
Malora knows what she was born to be: a horse wrangler and a hunter, just like her father. But when her people are massacred by batlike monsters called Leatherwings, Malora will need her horse skills just to survive. The last living human, Malora roams the wilderness at the head of a band of magnificent horses, relying only on her own wits, strength, and courage. When she is captured by a group of centaurs and taken to their city, Malora must decide whether the comforts of her new home and family are worth the parts of herself she must sacrifice to keep them.
Kate Klimo has masterfully created a new world, which at first seems to be an ancient one or perhaps another world altogether, but is in fact set on earth sometime far in the future.

Left me wanting more
I started reading this as a way to pass the time and actually enjoyed the story. The language used was a little stifling and I got lost in a lot of the descriptions. Thankfully, I actually got this book online by renting. I never paid for it. It's good, but not $10 good. I was disappointed to find out that I couldn't read the 2nd one. The ending of the first was really disappointing. Good story, felt like a free book, but I would never have paid $10 for it.
