“Let them see that you trust them and let them solve their own problems, make their own decisions. Do that and they will commit their lives to you. Bully them, control them out of fear or malice or just for your own convenience, and after a while you’ll have to spend all your time thinking for them, controlling them, and stifling their resentment.”
Fledgling is a story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly inhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion. She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted—and still wants—to destroy her and those she cares for and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human.
