Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young
4.0
Sky in the Deep was a wonderful historical fiction story that I read in one sitting in just over 3 hours. I could not put it down! It had everything from romance, to danger, to family, to OMG everyone is going to die, and I would totally recommend this one to anyone who loves books like Outlander and Enemies to Lovers romance. SO GOOD!!
This one started out with me kind of being like meh. This one is just meg. But that all changed once I got going. After that I could not put this one down!! The story kept me going until the very last page and I only had two things that I kind of didn't like but I could over look. So the first one was that the entire war thing was that every 5 years these two factions would come together and war it was called the waring season and that was all because the gods basically told them to do this. So it just kind of felt like it was two teams of children battling over a red crayon or so. And to me it was just kind of stupid. That these people need to put on their big adult panties and suck it the crap up!! The other issue I had was during the big fight scene that was totally awesome but the fighting just ends. The end of one chapter people are still fighting then BAM its like weeks later. I would have liked to see that transition from one chapter to the next to be a little smoother than what it was. But other than those two things this book was freaking awesome!!
So the charters in this one were fabulous. Eelyn was freaking amazing and I loved her from the first few pages in. She was so strong, strong willed and man can I just be her BFF? The rest of the cast was also great. I loved learning about both sets of people and I think the author did a fabulous job making us first hate then then loving everyone. That it's an eye opener about learning that your enemies are so much different than you are. I also loved all the fighting and the religion/culture that the author added to this story. I think she did an amazing job adding elements of each one to the story and it made it very beautiful.
In the end this one would appeal to those who adore historical fiction with no magical elements to speak of.
Go Into This One Knowing: Romance, Enemies to Friends, Family, War, Suggested Almost Rape (not sure how to explain this one.), No Fantasy Elements, No Cliffhanger,
