Hidden Sun: Shadowlands Book I by Jaine Fenn

3.0

"Hidden Sun" is split between three narrators: a female scientist who is investigating the disappearance of her brother; a girl who is on the cusp of becoming "skykin"; and a priest engaging in some kind of anatomical investigation. I really loved how the three stories wove in and out of each other, to finally start to come together in the end. Rhia's story was probably most of interest to me. I loved hearing about her scientific experiments, the Natural Enquirers were a really cool bit of worldbuilding and I liked how how her discoveries paralleled certain real life scientific breakthroughs. This was probably also in part because the difference between skykin and shadowkin were explained as and when needed by the story, which led for a confusing start with the other two sections. Overall, I loved the mystery and political drama elements of the book. Definitely will be checking out the next one!

Thank you Netgalley for giving me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
