The Deepest Blue by Sarah Beth Durst

4.0

I'm sad that I didn't know about this series before! From what I gather, this is a standalone novel set in the universe of a trilogy by the author. After reading this, I'm definitely going to check those out!

This was described as "Island of the Blue Dolphins" meets "The Hunger Games" and that's pretty apt. The world is magical and the people we meet are interesting. I would've loved some additional detail, but I suspect part of that is not having read the other series set in Renthia.

If you enjoy the stories of young people changing the world, overthrowing power hungry jerks, and bonding with "spirits" to keep them from destroying, well, everything, you should give this book a go!
