Maris challenges flyer traditionby proposing that flyers be chosen on the basis of merit not birth. She wins her battle but finds her victory brings many changes.

Windhaven

The light gravity and limited supply of metal fabric wings in the space colony lets only a few humans fly, and ground-confined Maris challenges the closed order of Flyers in order to fly.

Windhaven is a mesmerizing world, intended to create longing, wonder and the gritty realism that is expected of Martin. Scattered across the realm are islands, each with their proud bunch of flyers - men and women with steel wings, carrying messages across stormy seas when they're not drinking mead in stone outhouses. It evokes a dreamy, unforgettable landscape in your head, but that's as far as the sense of awe goes. Split into three parts, the plot rises and falls to drab conclusions, etched with moody characters and convenient tie-ups. But unlike Martin’s other work, this one has an end.

A full-colour graphic novel adaptation of the first fantasy novel from the bestselling author of A Game of Thrones, co-written with Lisa Tuttle. From the united imaginations of two award-winning authors, #1 New York Times bestseller George R. R. Martin (Game of Thrones) and Lisa Tuttle (Lost Futures), Windhaven is now a spectacular full-colour graphic novel--adapted by Lisa Tuttle, illustrated by Marvel Comics artist Elsa Charretier, and a must-have for fans of classic fantasy fiction and artwork. Among the scattered islands that make up the water world of Windhaven, no one holds more prestige than the silver-winged flyers, romantic figures who cross treacherous oceans, braving shifting winds and sudden storms, to bring news, gossip, songs, and stories to a waiting populace. Maris of Amberly, a fisherman's daughter, wants nothing more than to soar on the currents high above Windhaven, so she challenges tradition, demanding that flyers be chosen by merit rather than inheritance. But even after winning that bitter battle, Maris finds that her troubles are only beginning. Now a revolution threatens to destroy the world she fought so hard to join--and force her to make the ultimate sacrifice.

This was kind of stupid? Idk but I did not enjoy it at all?
The worldbuilding was interesting but also did not make sense, I don't know if that was just the graphic novel, or the actual story/world, but total meh.
