Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Raised to be a warrior, seventeen-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen
in an ancient rivalry against the Riki clan. Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive.
Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield—her brother, fighting with the
enemy—the brother she watched die five years ago.
Viking Norse culture and strong family bonds can be found throughout the entire
novel . Eelyn is fierce and loyal so when it comes to becoming a slave for another
tribe of people she is torn. Fiske is kind enough to her since he is now considered
her brother`s blood brother. Eelyn spends her days following tasks while watching
children run around. It's hard for her not to imagine these children becoming warriors,
the same warriors her people would fight after winter. The same warriors she would
be killing if it meant her survival.
If you enjoy shows like The 100 and Vikings this book is for you. For those that
like stand-alones with potential for companions then again this is perfect. There will
be a companion novel sometime in 2019 and let me tell you knowing more about
anything in this book would be a bonus. Sky in the Deep on its own is a fascinating
tale and I love how each person gets to grown in a natural setting not a forced one
chapter motive.
Since listening to the audiobook I have now bought a hardcover and thrown it
at both girls to read or listen to. Mackenzie being the super talented person gave
making a custom funko pop a shot. Eelyn was her first one and after 2 days of
painting she finished. If you head to our IG you can see a slideshow of her.
