Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young

To the criticism: this book does have a lot of popular YA tropes, but it does them really well. (As opposed to say, a series like Matched, which is more gimmicky/fluffy.)

The premise of this book sounded amazing and I could not wait to read it. At first I was not completely drawn into the story because it began with battles and blood. However, it did not take long after the initial scene for me to be enthralled! I cared about the characters, the roles they play in their communities, their rich traditions, relationships, ways of life, the love between characters, and even their spiritual beliefs and values. This book has so many wonderful elements like action, romance, passion, loyalty, and bravery to name a few! The author created a fascinating and beautiful world that is very original. I love that it was a complete story and standalone book, but I will admit I hope to see more of of this world! I look forward to reading more by Adrienne Young.

I read somewhere this was for ages 12 and up. As a high school teacher I am not sure I quite agree with that. I believe high school age and up would be most appropriate and probably enjoy it more.
Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I feel like not a whole lot happened in this book? Like I skim-read through the end because I really lost interest...

3.5/5 Stars
This would have been a full 4 star book for me if it wasn’t the rushed ending portion. Within 10 chapters so much happened whereas the beginning of the book was more slowly paced. I enjoyed the story but it’s not an all time favorite.

I really liked this book. Stayed up until 1am on a work night finishing it. Would I recommend it? Probably to a few people. Would I read it again? Probably not. But I thought it was a good read and kept my attention from the start, even if it was a little bit predictable.

I finished this one so fast. It was so good, and not like the fantasy I normally read. It was enemies to lovers and slow burn. I loved the characters and how badass they were
