Personally, I liked the first book better but I do feel like people would probably enjoy this story line.

First book on my TBR for #mermaidmarathonreads with @TheBrightSideGirl 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️ Check out her Insta for games and prizes over the course of the next two weeks.

TLuvs I liked this book far greater then the 1st in the duology. If you are a fan at all of Nordic culture, this needs to be on your TBR! 2y

Alfrazier21 @Littlewolf1 I wanted to let you know that I‘m almost finished with Truthwitch. Hoping to finish it tomorrow and have it in the mail for you Monday. I‘ve had the craziest week at work and then came down with a horrible sinus infection. (some luck, huh?) I‘m finally on the mend. I‘m sorry it‘ll be late, but wanted to let you know!! (edited) 2y

Considering the amount of fighting in this book, it‘s weird to call it a sweet book right? But it is, it feels sweet, and makes me want to give all the characters hugs.

This is between a pick and so-so. I thought it an ok read. Waring tribes, a girl who can see the future, not liked by the people who found her as a child. A young man sees his people killed, becomes chieftain and meets the girl. Set in Nordic scenery. #books

Oh wow! Thats another interesting read that weave a unique story with mythology. Tova has lived her live not knowing why/how she can read the destiny written by the fates. Little does she know that she was chosen for something entirely different. I enjoyed watching Tova's fate unfold. I am drawn to author's who can create what feels like new worlds into old mythology.

MY RATING⇢ 3 STARS | GRADE C
The action scenes were incomparable...but they weren't enough to carry the whole story. I wanted more than what this story delivered. I wanted the romantic tension that the first book had. Instead, there were only a handful of scenes with both the main characters present.

I really enjoyed this story that follows Halvard, 10 years after Sky in the Deep.

I was pulled into the story from page one. I was really happy to be back in the world and to see what the characters were up to. I really enjoyed the intro to a new Viking clan. The only thing is I wanted more of Tova‘s people story! I feel like we barely scratched the surface with them and a book about them would be appreciated.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Guys, I loved this book! I‘m surprised it has gotten so many low reviews. I love the descriptive writing the Adrienne Young offers in her stories. I always feel like I‘m alongside the characters in the woods or along the bitter sea. I really enjoyed this one! Vikings, rune casting, female leads. All my jam.

Bookzombie I really liked Sky In The Deep and this one is on my TBR. 🙂 4y
TheBookKeepers @Bookzombie I think you‘ll enjoy this one then!! I loved being back in the same world but with insight into new clans! 4y

Sky In The Deep was one of my favorites last year, and while I didn‘t enjoy this one quite as much, it was still very good.

SoManyBooksNotEnoughTime is this a sequel to Sky in the Deep? or just same author? 5y
ssravp @SoManyBooksNotEnoughTime It‘s a sequel. Not direct, but it‘s in the same world. 5y

While The Girl the Sea Gave Back didn‘t resonate with me as much as Sky in the Deep I still found it to be a worthy companion novel. Be prepared for the differences, but also try to go with the flow of what the novel is supposed to represent and I think you‘ll enjoy it.

Thanks, #NetGalley, for the chance to read this one! While marketed as a standalone set in the same landscape as Sky in the Deep, I really consider this more of a sequel, though Eelyn is not the focus. The narrative has more voices & gives a more epic feel, though mainly it is split between Tova and Halvard (ten years past the events of the first book). It‘s a break in style & the ending calls for a more direct sequel. It‘s an exciting adventure!

I loved Sky in the Deep so I hate how disappointed I am in this book. I found the first part confusing but after finding my footing In the story I realized how little I cared about any of it. I was not nvested in either protagonist and most of the events were so predictable that there wasn't even enough suspense to keep me interested. I love the world that Young brings to the page but this was a miss for me.

hermyknee I felt the same way — I didn‘t even finish it 😕 5y
Johanna414 I was so disappointed in this one... it took me like a month and a half to get through it 5y

I was so excited to get my hands on this because I had absolutely loved Sky in the Deep. While I did like getting a glimpse into the lives of those characters after ten years, the story itself was a bit of a disappointment. It wasn‘t that I disliked it - But the pacing felt off and it took me absolutely forever to get through. I don‘t regret reading it, but it wasn‘t the follow up I was hoping for.
