Summary from GoodReads
A Saskwyan flight mechanic with uncanny luck, seventeen-year-old Robin Arianhod grew up in the shadow of a decade-long war. But the skies are stalked by the Coyote—a ruthless Klonn pilot who picks off crippled airships and retreating soldiers. And as the only person to have survived an aerial dance with Saskwya’s greatest scourge, Robin has earned his attention.
As a pilot, Robin is good. But the Coyote is better. When he shoots her down and takes her prisoner, Robin finds herself locked into a new kind of dance. The possibility of genuine affection from a man who should be her enemy has left her with a choice: accept the Coyote’s offer of freedom and romance in exchange for repairing a strange rocket pack that could spell Saskwya’s defeat, but become a traitor to her country. Or betray her own heart and escape. If she takes the rocket pack and flees, she could end the war from the inside.
All she has to do is fly.
Filled with intrigue, forbidden romance, and a touch of steampunk, The Skylark’s Song soars in this new duology from the award-winning author of The Accidental Turn Series.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
In a world torn by war and cultural differences, Robin Arianhod is a kick-ass flying mechanic. But the skies are plagued by the Coyote, a pilot who never leaves anyone alive behind him. But when an accident will make Robin a proper pilot, she will realize that there are more to the war than she ever imagined.
And that the Coyote has his own leash too.
Following the end of her "Accidental Turn" series, which will always be my top favorite (and if you follow me you know how much I rave about the books in my blog), J.M. Frey enters into the world of steampunk, bordering to slight mecha territory, and creates a complex relationship between the main characters which can be difficulty labeled correctly.
Robin doesn't give up easily and she will do anything to escape captivity. Even when she knows that she will probably die in the process. The Coyote's identity remains still a mystery to me after finishing the ARC. The first book does a great job establishing the world-building, giving a scope to the life and its characters, but it will leave you with a tiny cliffhanger.
"The Skylark's song" is a thrilling new story which will satisfy even the demanding. Frey's voice is vibrant through the plot and very compelling to make you demand more!
