Daughter of Shattered Skies by Sara DeLaVergne
5.0
First of all, Sara did a fantastic job with the world builidng! The world of Ellorhys is so rich and I can’t wait to see the main trio of Issaria, Calix and Elon explore it further in later books. Ellorhys reminded me a bit of a mix of the world of Sailor Moon R and Daevabad in the best way possible. I also loved that even though there was a lot of world building it did not come across as overwhelming and did not take away from the plot.
In terms of the characters, I, of course, loved the main trio, but Sara also kept my attention with minor characters like Rhaminta and Maiyra. And there was also Princess Shari, who I have a feeling is going to be a lot of trouble despite seeming to be a minor character at first.
There is also clearly a love triangle brewing in this book and I already know who I’m rooting for. Calix definitely won me to his side in this book. Elon is sweet, but I felt like there was more passion between Calix and Issaria. Also I’m very much a sucker for dark hair and fire power (think Prince Zuko and Will Herondale).
I’ve read a lot of debut novels this year and Daughter of Shattered Skies is definitely one of my favorites. Aside from the incredible world building and characters, the plot had everything I look for in a good book. There was a bit of adventure, a bit of magic, a bit of palace intrigue and a bit of romance. I can’t recommend this book enough especially for my fellow fantasy readers. Definitely a 5 out of 5 star read for me.
