Reread 2023: So this is one of my all time favourite books, and rereading it just made that so much clearer.

The characters are well developed, and everything is very well thought out. I am sure there are flaws in the book but I am completely blind to them.


The story of Eelyn and Fiske hold such a special place in my heart, I just wished there were more content focused on them. I would have loved to see things through Fiske's point of view.
I also would have liked to see Eelyn and Iri make up more, especially after Aghi and Iri meet again. I feel like something settled in her when she saw them hug, like she accepted that she could be hurt by everything and still forgive. It would have been a precious moment if she could tell him that she loves him.


I read this for the first time in 2019, and I loved it then. When Adrienne Young released Fable I read that too and I thought that Fable was my favourite Adrienne Young book, but this reread has proved that it is Sky in the deep.

The characters were tangible and the story simple and straight to the point. I am not usually too moved by familial love and heartache, but the writing pulled something in me, and I found that I cared deeply for Eelyn and her family (both blood and found). The story didn't sweep me off my feet, but it was a great one-day read with a complex, touching romance. *I did quite enjoy all of the axe wielding and strong female characters*

Despite the interesting worldbuilding, I  can't really get into this one - and don't feel any real desire to continue with it.
