Product Information

The Aska man waiting behind us sat down on the stool and Kalda got to work on the cut carved into his cheek. I heard Sigr honored you today. He was a friend of my father’s. Everyone was.

I know. But you will never be the same. You will never be the same person you were.” He paused. “You are seeing the truth. I see you thinking it, everyday.” If there's one good thing to say about this story, is that it is inclusive, pronouns flying all around. Always. I looked behind us where our clansmen stood shoulder to shoulder in a sea of red leathers and bronze, all waiting for the call. Mýra and I had fought for our place at the front. Determined to unravel the truth and preserve the mission's integrity, Asuka races against time to unmask the perpetrator before faith in their mission crumbles entirely—or worse, before the bomber strikes again. As tensions mount and trust wanes, the fate of their collective survival rests on Asuka's relentless pursuit of justice amidst the vast expanse of space. Raised to be a warrior, 17-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient rivalry against the Riki clan. Her life is brutal but simple: train to fight and fight to 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.The Deep Sky" is a must-read for fans of space adventures, sci-fi, mysteries, and thrillers. It combines a thrilling plot with intricate character development, creating a story that will captivate your imagination and touch your heart. Strongly recommended. The first whistle cut into the air from our right, warning us to get ready, and I closed my eyes, feeling the steadiness of the earth beneath my feet. The sounds of battle rushing toward us bled together as the deep-throated prayers of my clansmen rose up around me like smoke from a wildfire. I let the words march out under my breath, asking Sigr to guard me. To help me bring down his enemies. With the world slowly dying, one wealthy individual uses her funds and technology to sponsor a last ditch effort to send humans to a new planet. As the ship hurtles to the new planet it seems there my be a person or persons on board looking to sabotage the mission. What is different in this story? This wealthy individual chose only women, young women that were trained as girls. A 2018 Most Anticipated Young Adult book from debut author Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep is part Wonder Woman, part Vikings—and all heart. The set-up was interesting and scarily plausible. With Earth on the brink of an planet-altering environmental disaster, the countries of the world nominate individuals to compete for a spot on a humanity-saving mission.

I put my face into my hands, trying to escape what he was saying. Because it made me feel like the world was turned sideways. Like everything I’d ever been taught didn’t fit into the shape of this world. Open clusters are pretty. This makes them fun to look at for beginning amateur astronomers. But many advanced amateurs spend a great deal of time observing open clusters as well. Compared with other deep-sky objects, open clusters are relatively large. This means you will generally be using low-power eyepieces, which provide wide fields of view. Some clusters are large enough and bright enough that binoculars will provide more satisfying views. After stars form, they arrange themselves into clusters. So do galaxies. Clusters of galaxies may be made up of a handful of galaxies or as many as a thousand. As with star clusters, clusters of galaxies are held together by mutual gravitational attraction. Please note that a galactic cluster and a cluster of galaxies are totally different. The first is a group of stars (also known as an open cluster). The second is a group of galaxies. The most famous cluster of galaxies is the one that contains our Milky Way. Known as the Local Group, it is composed of almost 40 members. This other Asuka was the shadow she would rip from her feet and leave behind on the crumbling asphalt roads and faded lines. She willed it to be so. Stop worrying about me. I ran a hand over the right side of my head where my hair was shorn to the scalp under the length of the braids.In the next breath, I joined with her, saying the ritual words we knew by heart. "We ask Sigr to accept your soul into Sólbjǫrg, where the long line of our people hold torches on the shadowed path." I just finished the companion novel for Sky, but we haven’t announced details yet. It’s coming Fall 2019. Lastly, do you have any book recommendations for us? This. Is so much. Everything. I can’t. I just. I want to find the right words to explain why, or even how this grabbed me by the throat and squeezed until I forgot how to even breathe and no longer even cared that I couldn’t. But I can’t. I’ll try, but I already know I’m going to fail to do it justice. My only real criticism is the pacing of the book. The beginning started off with a big event, but then the book became a little too technical and, even though the chapters in the past timeline did help me understand the main character more, the pacing would slow to a crawl only to speed up and then slow down way too much again. Stop worrying about me.” I ran a hand over the right side of my head where my hair was shorn to the scalp under the length of the braids.

Halvard, the little boy in the book that melts the ice around Eelyn’s heart. I love him. Do you write listening to music? If so, what music inspired or accompanied this current book?About 50% into the book, it becomes obvious who the saboteur is...obvious to the reader, that is, while the crew remains oblivious to the impossible to miss fact. She is given no choice but to trust Fiske, her brother's friend. 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 to find a way to forgive her brother while daring to put her faith in the people she's spent her life hating. this is an amazing sci-fi thriller that will definitely keep you up all night reading. the plot keeps moving forward and you can't help but be curious about the next chapter. it really is like the game Among Us though i've only played it once because i never got the hang of it. the novel is peopled with diverse characters with decent characterization. what i really like about our main character is her motivation and her ability to think outside of the box. i also really like how the characters are all smart and perfect in their own ways, yet still flawed-- showing that they are still human, which adds to the story's verisimilitude. this is a testament to the author's skills, as it is difficult to build believable characters who are incredibly smart and yet flawed in their own unique ways. the atmosphere in the novel was great and i think the setting was developed nicely. it's indeed a thrilling sci-fi read that will keep you reading! i was deeply immersed into the story and i was very invested in the plot.

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. The brother/sister betrayal and story was the initial inspiration for Sky in the Deep. I didn’t set out to write a Viking-inspired world, it just came in the process. What do you hope your readers take away from this story? 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.The writing seemed to struggle with clarity and whether or not it wanted to be third person limited, stream of consciousness, or third omniscient. There were more than a few instances where pronoun use made this difficult to understand and even some where the author even had to clarify with parentheses. You might wonder how objects composed of up to a trillion or more individual stars could be so difficult to observe. Of course, the answer is distance. Galaxies are so far away that, except for a small number, they all appear small and faint. Even advanced observers regard observing faint galaxies as a challenge. I found my father’s face across the field, where the fog was still pulling up from the land like a lifting cloud. The writing, though, was (unexpectedly) very YA. And by that, I don’t mean that the intended audiences were young adults; but that it was written by a young adult. Which, they don’t prefer using, apparently, because (according to them) it’s LESS efficient than RADIO.
