Defy by Sara B larson

 

Took a break from MSBA shortlist reading to read this one from NetGalley (got a little heavy handed with my requests).  LOVED IT!  This book was about Alexa and her brother Marcel who were left orphans when a sorcerer led an attack on their village and killed her parents.  Since then Alexa has been Alex, a boy training and eventually becoming a very talented guard to Prince Damien.  But things are not what they seem (are they ever?) and soon Alexa faces danger of exposure, assassination attempts, betrayal, kidnapping, and the opportunity to save her country.  The content while not bad is too mature for my students but I will recommend it to anyone who likes YA books.
