We Rule the Night by Claire Eliza Bartlett

Release Date: April 2, 2019

Publisher: Little, Brown

Goodreads / Purchase

Two girls use forbidden magic to fly and fight–for their country and for themselves–in this riveting debut that’s part Shadow and Bone, part Code Name Verity.

Seventeen-year-old Revna is a factory worker, manufacturing war machines for the Union of the North. When she’s caught using illegal magic, she fears being branded a traitor and imprisoned. Meanwhile, on the front lines, Linné defied her father, a Union general, and disguised herself as a boy to join the army. They’re both offered a reprieve from punishment if they use their magic in a special women’s military flight unit and undertake terrifying, deadly missions under cover of darkness. Revna and Linné can hardly stand to be in the same cockpit, but if they can’t fly together, and if they can’t find a way to fly well, the enemy’s superior firepower will destroy them–if they don’t destroy each other first.

We Rule the Night is a powerful story about sacrifice, complicated friendships, and survival despite impossible odds.

This book! Oh my god. First off, THAT COVER. Second, THAT SUMMARY. I have never in all my years of reading seen a premise such as this one. I am so here for this enemies-to-besties (maybe even lovers???) trope. I am here for the strong women I'm sure will be featured in this book. I AM HERE FOR ALL OF THIS. I am actually currently working with Claire to bring you guys a Young Adult Debut Author post and I have my fingers crossed that I'm able to get an ARC. I can already tell this book is going to be great.

What book are you waiting on?
