Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young
5.0
1st reread:
i love u fiske.....
4.5 stars
this book made me feel a lot of emotions so rtc
Maybe it's because I just finished Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but I connected with this book really well. I could feel Eelyn's love for her home, her fierce pride, and how important honor is to them. I felt genuinely upset for her when she was captured, rooted for her escape, and hated the Riki. I actually had to set it down and take a breather because I was so mad for her lol
When Fiske said he wants to go back to Hylli with her... my heart
My only issue with this book is how long it is. Not in a "I wish this was longer because it's so amazing" way (which it is) but a "This should've been fleshed out more" way. While the enemies to lovers is there, it's in first person so it makes it hard to see Fiske's point of view. I could see Eelyn's growing feelings but not Fiske's, even though they are definitely there. I also wish the final battle had been longer. It built up and built up and lasted for a chapter.
Otherwise, I 100% recommend this book to anyone who enjoys vikings or enemies to lovers (or badass female warriors). Loved it!!
