I really enjoyed the last half of this book but did find the first half rough because I'm kind of a sensitive reader and there was a lot of loss and sad situations. But I did wind up liking it by the end!!

Really enjoyed the Nordic type Fantasy story. Didn't know what it would remind me of, but man was it good.

The protagonist is sure of herself, but that doesn't mean that everything goes her way. Her ideals and beliefs are threatened, and how she works through it...felt honest and true.

Also, the battle sequences were amazingly realized in my head as I read the scene. Each one was unique and true.

To live in a society like this...each day is a moment, and you really don't think too far into the future...for tomorrow you may be dead.

I'm so excited to see what comes next.

It was bad but it wasn’t terrible. I would’ve liked it to have been more viking-y, and the romance to have had a better beginning. It felt like the mc and the love interest kinda just suddenly fell in love without much context or background. There was fluff after that and I did enjoy seeing them together. As a whole, Sky in the Deep should have been written better and had more detail so we could better understand and enjoy the journey with the characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
