A few weeks ago, we received a request to review a book called Sky, after reading the synopsis I wanted to read it and check it out. Sky was a lot of fun and has the making to be a good start for a series.
The story started off slow, and allowed me to get to know the characters before it picked up speed. The P.O.V. rotated through different characters so I felt like I had a good understand of who everyone was and their background. The majority of it is written from Tomas perspective. Tomas felt a lot of guys I grew up knowing, he was normal and had insecurities. I liked Tomas immediately because he has such a good heart. At first glance it seems like it would be heavy in the romance department, but it ended up being more of a fantasy/adventure. I think a lot of guys would really like Sky because the love didn’t take over the story. I like that the writing tended to be direct and kept a good pace. I was able to move with the story because it didn’t feel too flowery. There were parts that creeped me out and there where parts that really funny or sweet. There was just the right amount of creepy. I loved being scared, but because I’m such a baby if it’s too scary I wont be able to read it quickly because I will only read it in the middle of the day, when my husband is home:) I liked the balance throughout the story, I never felt overwhelmed with information and it was never so action packed that it was hard for me to keep up visually. The second book in the series, Stargazers will be released in June, 2013. So now is a great time to start on this series. I enjoyed reading Sky and I can’t believe this is the authors debut novel. It’s going for a smoking deal on Amazon, so check it out! After you finish Sky, you can read a sneak peak of Stargazers here.
