A Most Anticipated Young Adult book from debut author Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep is part Wonder Woman, part Vikings― and all heart. OND ELDR. BREATHE FIRE. 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. Faced with her brother's betrayal, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki, in a village where every neighbor is an enemy, every battle scar possibly one she delivered. But when the Riki village is raided by a ruthless clan thought to be a legend, Eelyn is even more desperate to get back to her beloved family. She is given no choice but to trust Fiske, her brother’s friend, who sees her as a threat. They must do the impossible: unite the clans to fight together, or risk being slaughtered one by one. Driven by a love for her clan and her growing love for Fiske, Eelyn must confront her own definition of loyalty and family while daring to put her faith in the people she’s spent her life hating. Review: Her writing slides oh so comfortably into the lyrical - This was my first read for 2018 and let me be completely honest when I say, Sky in the Deep is an amazing/brilliant/gorgeous debut novel from Adrienne Young. (Hey! We share a first name! This may have been partly what drew me to request this book, but there's no telling.) Young is a talented writer and this is not said lightly. I am incredibly picky when it comes to the books I read and own, but I could not put this down. Her writing slides oh so comfortably into the lyrical, despite the gruesome topics of war and bloodshed rife in her novel. I hungrily devoured it in a few hours after receiving it, determined to know Eelyn's fate despite my early morning alarm. I found myself rereading passages wanting to relish the beautiful and brutal prose of this Viking world Young has created. I never do this. (As in never ever.) Sky in the Deep is not your typical YA fantasy read and honestly, I probably wouldn't read it if it was. Our main character is fierce, loyal, calculating, and smart! (Oh gosh, I love her so much.) She is broken, but inherently strong, always evolving with her circumstances. There isn't the tried and tired love triangle trope, no excessive vulgar scenes, and it's worth noting, no cursing. (This is a rant for another day, but just know, I am SO excited there's not random curse words ruining this novel.) This is not a pretty princess story, instead it's violent, heart-rending, and full of sorrow. Sky in the Deep is not just a novel about Vikings, but rather, a poignant and prolific narrative on how we are connected. Friendship. Sibling. Mother. Enemy. Brother. Father. Child. Sister. I honestly don't know if I can put down in words how I feel about this novel with its rich descriptive war scenes that give way to tender heart break, tempting me to shave the side of my head and learn to throw an ax, while also reminding me of the time when my hatred turned to love. I do however, know this is one of my favourite novels I've ever read and I plan to reread it time and time again. (Fun fact, I almost started it over again right after I finished it.) Adrienne Young is brilliant and I cannot wait to read so much more from her! Review: Captivating story and characters that fought their way into my heart - Actual rating: 4.25 This book really is amazing! I'm not going to lie though- for a while I felt like I was reading a different book than everyone else but THAT is what makes it so amazing! The author makes you feel what Eelyn is feeling- the prejudice, the hate(from both sides), all of it. So that when everything opens up and starts to happen it's so much more beautiful because yourself progressing through all of that with the characters in the book. I would have given it a full 5 stars had it been long enough to fill everything out. I feel like it needed more. The story is too short. I finally get it though. This story and these characters are amazing! Let me start with the reason(s) I felt that I was reading a different book than everyone else. I think all of the hate and prejudice coming from every character made me feel alienated, if that makes any sense. The characters all being so hateful and prejudiced from the very start made me unable to connect with any of them on a deeper level. And when that happens(or doesn't happen, actually) it's hard to care what happens. But despite that, I found questionable to put this book down. The scenery and story were so exciting that it kept me reading until the characters won me over. I was amazed at how much I came to love these characters. Expedia certain Riki warrior. Or two of them actually. I don't want to talk too much about specific characters though because I don't want to spoil anything. Suffice to say that the story was amazing from the start and the characters fought their way into my heart. I highly recommend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #184,962 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #336 in Teen & Young Adult Myths & Legends #471 in Teen & Young Adult Sword & Sorcery Fantasy #513 in Teen & Young Adult Epic Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 5,743 Reviews | ## Images ![Sky in the Deep (Sky and Sea, 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zS8QMVksL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Her writing slides oh so comfortably into the lyrical *by A***E on April 27, 2018* This was my first read for 2018 and let me be completely honest when I say, Sky in the Deep is an amazing/brilliant/gorgeous debut novel from Adrienne Young.

I was hesitant to buy it at first because of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I did. Looking back at some of those reviews, I don't agree with them at all. The author did an amazing job pulling me into her world, and I was sad when the story ended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/125857093-sky-in-the-deep-sky-and-sea-1](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/125857093-sky-in-the-deep-sky-and-sea-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
