I alpha read this during the biggest reading slump of my life, but I very much enjoyed the way this story took shape and read through each half of it very quickly. The fight scene on the beach is so good!!!

Honestly, this book is a perfect finish to the duology!
HOBAB is sweet, cozy with higher stakes (but it's all solved in a "cozy" way, a la Can't Spell Treason Without Tea), and easy to read. This book was released when I felt STRESSED. It was the perfect remedy for me, and I crushed it in three days.
If you're looking for a feel-good magical romantasy story filled with less common magical creatures, this book series is for you!

I feel like this could have been one book, but it wasn’t bad. Got a little boring and formulaic—at one point a character correctly guesses something important (and obvious, which he states), but nothing is done with the correct guess? Editing could have been tighter, a few conversations repeat statements or are confusing. I assume there are connections with other books the author has written. Side characters were a little bland, and despite being rulers of two separate countries I don’t feel like the citizens of the countries were fleshed out either. It was a little too happy ending, not completely believable.

I LOVE Marian and Caspian! This book was such an excellent concussion to this duology. I would love if she extended this series to follow other characters journeys but I am pleased with the ending.

This book was everything I wanted for Caspian and Marina. I adored their banter and all their moments together. I loved watching Marina develop even more into a badass fmc, and Cas being in awe of her. I want a siren mate of my own. Definitely recommend this duology! It’s the perfect summer read, or really anytime read. I can’t wait to see what Madeleine comes up with next!

“I would rather die tomorrow than live a thousand lives without you. You are the best part of me. The greatest gift I have ever received. And everything that has happened to me was meant to happen, to get us here. Together.” 🌊🥹✨
Hymn of Breath and Bone by @madeleineeliotwrites is an incredible conclusion to the Sea and Sky Duology! 🤩
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I am yet again blown away by Madeleine’s storytelling!!! She is a craftswoman of world building and developing an unforgettable cast of characters that you will fall in love with. 😍
I enjoyed returning to Caspian and Marina’s story as it is a rollercoaster of a ride, with so many twists and new revelations. Their love for each other made me smile, swoon, cry, and sometimes fan myself! I devoured through the novel and was so sad when it concluded. Also, I was screaming at the last few pages of the book (IYKYK)! Hopefully, we will get an opportunity to return to the world of selkies and sirens someday through a novella or another story. 🫠🧜♀️🪽🐚🐉🐴🌦️🌬️🦴🤍
Congratulations to Madeleine Eliot for writing another memorable and mesmerizing duology! Please pick up Hymn of Breath and Bone (or any of her) whenever they are sold today. You will not regret it! 🥳
