"Sky in The Deep" starts out really slow for around the first forty pages. Once you get into the actual story though it is a great story with such a cute couple. I felt as if the ending was a little rushed but it was an overall good book.

Very slow start, but a solid ending. Gore in graphic war related scenes. 

“‘I didn’t want to ask you,’ I said in a cracked whisper. He set his head onto my shoulder. ‘You didn’t have to ask me.’ I smiled, my lips pressed to his ear. Because Fiske lived in lockstep with his heart. He did what he believed in” (p.315).

Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young

I feel like everyone knows Fable and her world, but not a lot is said of Eelyn of Hylli. I was drawn to this story because I wanted to read more Adrienne Young books, love the Viking vibes, and the FMC’s name is one letter off from my daughter’s name! 

As a YA story, it hits all the marks for me. Epic story, coming of age, challenging what is for something better, sweet undercurrents of possible love in many forms, and a (mostly) happy ending. 

Highly recommended!

I loved everything about this book. From the descriptions of the world it's set in to the relationships and depth of feeling that the characters showed. It does have very violent scenes but if that doesn't bother you I would highly recommend this book.
