About this listen

"Mixing everything that's best about dragons, dystopia, and generational conflict, Tang delivers a high flying debut that pulls no punches." (E. K. Johnston, number one New York Times best-selling author)

Things just got weird for Prudence Wu.

One minute, she's cashing in on a routine smuggling deal. The next, she's escaping enforcers on the wings of what very much appears to be a sentient cybernetic dragon.

Pru is used to life throwing her some unpleasant surprises—she goes to prep school, after all, and selling banned media across the border in a country with a ruthless corporate government obviously has its risks. But a cybernetic dragon? That's new.

She tries to forget about the fact that the only reason she's not in jail is because some sort of robot saved her, and that she's going to have to get a new side job now that enforcers are on to her. So, she's not exactly thrilled when Rebelwing shows up again.

Even worse, it's become increasingly clear that the rogue machine has imprinted on her permanently, which means she'd better figure out this whole piloting-a-dragon thing—fast. Because Rebelwing just happens to be the ridiculously expensive weapon her government needs in a brewing war with its neighbor, and Pru's the only one who can fly it.

Set in a wonderfully inventive near-future Washington, DC, this hilarious, defiant debut sparkles with wit and wisdom, deftly exploring media consumption, personal freedoms, and the weight of one life as Pru, rather reluctantly, takes to the skies.

Critic reviews

“Tang’s prose is snappy, Pru’s voice strikes a likeable balance between sarcastic and sincere, and the inclusive cast is fleshed out, making this an enjoyable tale of political conspiracy.”Publishers Weekly

“In Tang’s debut, cybernetic dragons and robotic hybrids clash as readers follow a lovable cast through the political machinations of war.”Booklist

“The writing is excellent, the characters well drawn and the mech-dragon offers a unique spin (sometimes literally).”—School Library Journal

For the Rebels Who Long for More Time

Tired of going with the flow? Take a journey down a path that you weren't expecting. Come fly inside the mind of an ever expanding world bending author. There is a little bit of everything for everyone...tech, science, fantasy, life, death, angst and oh yeah, storytelling. I hope you enjoy the last chapter as much as I did.

Rebelwing starts as a prep school romance, culminating in a nihilistic ending

Rebelwing is a well written Teen/YA romance that pulls you into the lives of the characters. Beware that the ending is unsatisfying.

Sci-fi, humorous and believable

No spoilers.

This is an excellent example of science fiction writing. The author has created a believable setting and characters who interact in logical and normal ways. While there is humor and joking amount characters, it does not seem forced or out-of-place. The pace is good, moving through logically without breaks.

Highly recommend.

Not a fan

I don’t think I’ve DNF’d an audio book yet, but came close on this one. The story was bad and the reader did the best she could with it. I found the characters uninteresting and whiny at times. I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did. About 2/3 of the way through, I just king of checked out.
