![]() ![]() Eelyn’s relationship with her presumably dead brother becomes complex quickly as she struggles with betrayal that he could do such a thing as fight with her enemies, guilt (which I didn’t think was a rash emotion to have, but emotions are rarely rash), and a love that is as constant as the sun’s rising. Not many YA books I’ve read center on a brother/sister relationship, so that was a nice change and felt real. But when an enemy more evil than the Riki emerges out of the mountains, Eelyn must decide if she can lay down a centuries-old rivalry to unite the Aska and Riki before they’re both completely destroyed. Eelyn must survive a winter with the Riki, heartbroken over her brother’s betrayal. ![]() Like Katniss, seventeen-year-old Eelyn lives in a violent world and possesses the fierce heart of a warrior.Įelyn joins her Aska clansmen every five years in fighting their ancient enemy–the Riki clan–until she spots her presumed dead brother fighting alongside the Riki. The Hunger Gamesmeets the vikings in this visceral debut by Adrienne Young. ![]()
