Daughter of Shattered Skies by Sara DeLaVergne
5.0
Received an eArc in exchange for an honest review. Daughter of Shattered Skies takes you by the hand, and whisks you away to a bewitching land full of giant crystals, magic and cosmic wonder. With a rich, magical and whimsical world split into night and day, this world harks visuals from any Hayao Miyazaki film. This coming-of-age story with a female protagonist who is bad-ass, feminine and smart (because yes, you *CAN* be all 3) who is trying to save her queendom. Whilst figuring out her place in the world and sort through her own tumultuous feelings, for a certain loyal bodyguard and a certain Prince with charred hands from the warring nation above the Timeline who has sworn to kill her.
With a voice inside Issaria’s magic, a deity who has sworn vengeance and more, our heroine has a lot to figure out along the way. With this cross map adventure we explore a lot of this amazing world without it being too heavy. The information is rolled out effortlessly, with a high fantasy’s worth of lore and history stuffed into a YA package. Issaria is thrown into all sorts of situations, and you will revel in how it all unfolds.
Prince Calix has a special place in my heart, and I am blaming those charred hands of his.
The only 5* book I read that month. I absolutely could not put it down, I HAD to know what was going to happen next, and I could not predict what was going to happen and it surprised me at every turn. This book has a lot of tiny easter eggs for fans of Sailor Moon, Ghibli films, Avatar the Last Airbender and much more. I can’t wait to see what the next book brings! I need the next book now!
For fans of The Bridge Kingdom, Sailor Moon, Air Awakens and Throne of Glass.
“Be afraid. But do it anyway.”
