The Surviving Sky by Kritika H. Rao
5.0
First, the concept of this is unique and captivating. This world is unlike any other and the world building is laid out really well. The book was written well with complex character is a any good at writing style and was easy to follow along.
The plot was brilliantly laid out with twist that I did not see coming but when looking back are so delicious Lee planted. My favorite part about this book was that I could not predict where the plot was going I never knew what was coming next and it kept me engaged and looking forward to what came next.
I wanted to devour this book it was so good and drew me in right away and kept me at the edge of my seat but it was so good that I force myself to slow down and savor it. It is not often that I find a book that I enjoy this much and I wanted that experience to last for longer.
The conflict between the husband and wife that start to get a bit trite. There is a LOT of back-and-forth and really short amounts and you know like back-and-forth and back-and-forth in the day and a lot of the reconciliation seems forced. I’ll get that part of the book is about their crumbling marriage but there flip-flopping is starting to get really extreme and it loses its realness and starts to feel kind of forced and like it’s just something that’s being done for the sake of having conflict. Which is unnecessary when the other characters and the plot in the setting provide plenty of conflict already. So it feels like an unnecessary addition, I think that if the periods of fighting and reconciliation were longer or at least had more pivotal and believable moments it would’ve worked better.
Overall, the book was great. It was the perfect amount of mind-bendy. I cannot wait to see what comes next.
Update on reread: moved it to five stars. I definitely read some parts too fast and missed some things. Much better this time around.
