ambazinga 's review for:

A ​Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir
4.5
dark emotional sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Overall I am at peace with how this series wrapped up. I do wish less people died - other ways to create distress and shock would have been nice to see. I also think this series could have been written as adult fantasy (not because spice at all) because I think there was great opportunity for more nuanced political intrigue and depth to these characters a d their stories. YA as a genre tends to gloss over some stuff which is fine but this series has such great bones and I wish there was more meat. Overall for its genre and age category this is a great fantasy series worth your time.
