Sky In The Deep by Adrienne Young *REVIEW*
Sky In The Deep
By Adrienne Young
I love reading about Vikings and I've never read a YA book before that has to do with them so I was immediately drawn in by the synopsis.
I loved the characters and the bonds and relationships that they had with one another, not just the romantic relationships but the fact that it was expressed that your family doesn't have to be blood. Eelyn was a really great main character and while at some points it was hard to relate, other times I could see myself in her and her struggles that she was having felt real.
It took a little while for me to get into and then once that happened I felt like the scenes were happening so fast, like as soon as you got a grasp of what was happening in a chapter, a new chapter began and we moved on to something else. I just wanted some scenes to be longer and more fleshed out rather than adding a whole bunch of little things. The ending also just kind of came out of no where. It felt like everything was leading up to this climax in the book and it just ended within a few chapters and then the book ended shortly after that. I just found myself wanting more time with the world and the characters. Maybe thats just me?
The other thing is that my review copy only had 229 pages and on Goodreads it says that there is 352 pages so maybe the scenes are fleshed out more in the finished copy than they are in the ARC or maybe its just the formatting of the eARC.
Overall, I enjoyed the characters and the story, I just wish there was more time allotted to certain points of the book instead of trying to get in as many little things as possible. However, I would still recommend Sky In The Deep if you like reading about Vikings.
