Book Review: Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan

TELL THE WIND AND FIRE is Sarah Rees Brennan's YA fantasy which takes its inspiration from the Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities. Brennan's tale takes place in a dark and gritty version of New York, a city divided by two forms of magic - Light and Dark. Like the classic tale, this is a story of strong themes. Prejudice, cruelty, and hope are all cleverly interwoven as readers witness the two factions divided by their forms of magic that can result in nothing less than an uprising. Amidst this upheaval is our heroine, Lucie Manette, born of both light and dark magic.
