Dustborn by Erin BowmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Delta has just lost her sister to childbirth and is
struggling to care for the daughter left behind when she discovers that her
village has been burned and her family taken.
She sets out with the baby and is captured to be sold as a slave. She is about to be beaten because she
resisted the baby being taken when it is discovered she has marks branded on
her back. She has always been told to
show it to no one. Now her secret is out
and she has to get away. Will Delta be
able to decipher the marks and save the people from her village? Is there anyone that Delta can trust as she
seeks these answers?
Dustborn is a stand-alone post-apocalyptic adventure. This story pulled me in right away and I was
invested in Delta and the world she lived in.
Readers will love the back story that slowly unfolds and the strong
female protagonist is a force to be reckoned with. Bowman weaved tidbits of the answer
throughout the storyline and when Delta discovers the truth, most readers will
have an a-ha moment with her. I loved that
the story is complete and I believe that readers will be satisfied with how
everything ended.
