Sky in the Deep

“Vegr yfir fjor.” Honor above life.”

I LOVED the Viking vibes in this books. It really explored the Viking culture in both Aska and Rika clans, which was AMAZING. While reading you can definitely tell that their beliefs and their religion influence their actions. These details really helped with the world building in my opinion. It really helped me imagine the world and the clans.

Storywise .. I liked it, but it also fell flat at moments. There were great moments, heartwarming moments that made me want to keep on reading until I finished the book. But sometimes I felt like I didn't have enough information about the mythology to really understand what was going on, which made me lose interest.

The thing I despised in this book was the romance. It was very unnecessary in my opinion and way too INSTA LOVEY DOVEY. I hate instalove with a passion, it feels fake.

Overall, I did enjoy Sky in the Deep and I really liked that it was so family-centered. I'm interested in reading more from this author.
