Theme Thursday -- Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner

Hosted by Reading Between the Pages

Rules:
*A theme will be posted each week on Thursday
*Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you are reading that features the theme

*Event is open for the whole week

This week's theme is Female Person [description of a woman/girl]. 

A huge metal arch stretching from river to sky and back again.  A dark-haired young woman, her face streaked with tears, walking toward the arch's base, closer and closer until it towered above her like a giant curving mirror.  She walked on, stepped through the mirror's bright surface, and disappeared.

I enjoyed the way Simner combined post-apocalyptic/dystopian elements with a heavy dose of magic in this young adult novel.  I've got the sequel, Faerie Winter, on hold at the library and look forward to it!
