Phoebe (fleab) | 4 comments I have been really struggling to remember the name of this book so any help would be much appreciated.

What I can remember is that it was a YA Fantasy and the Heroine lived in a tribe in the desert (I think). She ends up leaving for some reason and joins a group of rebels??? that are living in caves in a mountain. The rebels all fly these giant birds. I think she also had some kind of magic powers but I can't remember what these were. (view spoiler)

That's all I can remember and it's been bugging me for ages.

I'm not 100% sure, I don't think it was last year but maybe the year before? Pretty sure it wouldn't have been more than 3 or 4 years ago. I believe the book was a relatively new release at the time but again I could be wrong. I read a lot of books.

Annamariah | 292 comments I googled a bit and found Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton. Could it be your book?

Thanks for the suggestion Annamariah. When I saw this book I thought it was definitely the right one but then I googled a plot summary and unfortunately its not it. In Rebel of the Sands, she has a gun and there are trains and technology but I don't remember there being advanced technology like that in the book I read. Also in Rebel of the Sands, they don't fly on giant birds whereas I remember this being a big part of the other book

Perhaps: Sands -- seems to have both a desert setting and giant birds that are ridden upon.
