Sky in the Deep

This book is for the person who pours hot sauce on all their food without bothering to season the rest of the meal.

The story starts in the midst of a gripping battle. Slicing down this enemy tribe. Death comes face to face with our heroine, when suddenly... her brother that died 5 years earlier appears in the mists and saved her. But no. it's just a dream, or was it? Sounds exciting right? Well, it's all downhill from here.

Rather than giving us substance, character insight, or world building, the author continues the route of shock jock, blinding us with action (aka hot sauce), without focusing on the rest of the meal. Eventually, I gave up trying to care who was who and just envisioned characters from another book going rogue and playing out this storyline. Eventually, even that got boring. Since life is too short to waste on bad books, this is being hung up on the DNF shelf.
