Sky in the Deep follows Eelyn, a young viking warrior who has spent the last five years mourning the loss of her brother who was killed in battle. Five years after her brothers death, Eelyn notices something while she is fighting that turns her life upside down and makes her question everything she's ever believed. When she is captured by the enemy clan she is forced to make difficult choices, as she must come to terms with loss, betrayal, despair, and even love. 

I had really, really high hopes for this book. I love vikings and when I found out I had viking ancestry I drove deeper into my love for them. So when I received this book in an Owlcrate box I was so excited. But now, after I finished reading, I don't know how I feel about this book.

In my opinion the book is very slow and it takes a while for the plot to pick up. I don't much care for character driven books and I found out early on, that Sky in the Deep in a character driven book.

Don't get me wrong I liked Eelyn as a character and I felt for her and all she had to go through. In fact I felt her reactions could have been more severe.

I felt the romance wasn't developed liked it could/should have been and was just, thrown in there just for the sake of it.

The ending was very quick and rushed in my opinion. The epic fight we get at the end felt like a 15 minute scene in a movie and then it was over.

Overall I enjoyed some aspects of the book but I had more problems with it than I was hoping.

Accidentally deleted my review by pushing the wrong button. This book got points for the first 120 pages and tight writing. Characters were hard to connect with or care about. Plot was unoriginal and dropped a couple big points without explanation. Romance was forced and had no genuine connection that would make me root for it. It only had vikings going for it and nothing more. A let down, but that's what I get for trying a book tiktok likes (tbf I had picked this up BEFORE it hit tiktok but guess I still haven't learned my lesson).
