Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A Most Anticipated Young Adult book from debut author Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep is part Wonder Woman, part Vikings—and all heart.

OND ELDR. BREATHE FIRE.

Raised to be a warrior, seventeen-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient, rivalry against the Riki clan. Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield—her brother, fighting with the enemy—the brother she watched die five years ago.

Faced with her brother's betrayal, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki, in a village where every neighbor is an enemy, every battle scar possibly one she delivered. But when the Riki village is raided by a ruthless clan thought to be a legend, Eelyn is even more desperate to get back to her beloved family.

She is given no choice but to trust Fiske, her brother’s friend, who sees her as a threat. They must do the impossible: unite the clans to fight together, or risk being slaughtered one by one. Driven by a love for her clan and her growing love for Fiske, Eelyn must confront her own definition of loyalty and family while daring to put her faith in the people she’s spent her life hating.

    Read it! It’s a great blend of action, romance and character development. The fright scenes get your blood racing! No dull moments, I literally read in one sitting not being able to put it down except to replay what just happened in my mind. Not smutty or spicy but it’s not needed here.

    I tried to pace myself with this book, but it just wasn’t possible! This slow-burn romance made me want to skip to the part where they finally got together!!! Action. Emotion. I absolutely loved it! The plot was good and so were the characters! BUY. IT. NOW

    This story captures your attention from the very first sentence. It’s enthralling and moving and such a great story. I didn’t think I was going to like it as much as I did. The storyline is excellent and you do start to really care for the characters. The fighting scenes in it is amazing. The writing style itself is really excellent. The only thing that I would critique would have to be the romance part in the story. While I know that the romantic aspect of the story doesn’t need to be the main theme,(because trust me, the storyline is amazing) it just would’ve made it entirely better for me. That part of the story just left me wanting. It’s good but I just wish there was more development- fleshed out more, so to say.
  • Amazing!!

    Best book ever!! It was actually a pretty clean book besides a lot on details when it came to blood. So if that grosses you out, you maybe shouldn't read it. But it was so so good!! Not much language either!
