I hate how conflicted it makes me feel when books would pointlessly drag on for so long only to knock me over with a feather at the end. of that, i am positive.Īlso, a massive thanks to wednesday books/st. so any fan of 'sky in the deep' will love this. i love when books are considered a series, but instead of being a continuation of one story, they are individual stories told in the same world, with overlapping characters and events. Overall, this is a great companion novel. or just a generally consistent flow throughout. this book is on the shorter side of things, so i would have loved to have a more extended conclusion. everything is resolved in about 10-20 pages, making it seem a bit rushed to me.
So how come im not giving this 5 stars if i seemed to enjoy it so much? well, that would be because of the pacing, particularly the ending.
there is such an atmospheric quality to her words that makes me feel like im living the story, rather than just reading about it. young took a topic that im not really interested in (vikings) and had me so enamoured with their way of life, their gods and beliefs, their struggle and desire for peace. its just always a relief when a book is gorgeous, both inside and out.Īnd its definitely the writing that made this story for me.
There is no better feeling than seeing a lovely cover and discovering that the writing inside reflects that same beauty. Should they maintain peace or go to war with the allied clans to protect their newfound power? And when their chieftain looks to Tova to cast the stones, she sets into motion a series of events that will not only change the landscape of the mainland forever but will give her something she believed she could never have again-a home. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east bury their age-old blood feud and join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse.įor the first time in generations, the leaders of the Svell are divided. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her as one who can cast the rune stones and see into the future.
The new gut-wrenching epic from the New York Times bestselling author of Sky in the Deep.įor as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue.
