From Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Sky in the Deep, comes her new gut-wrenching epic The Girl the Sea Gave Back.

For as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her as one who can cast the rune stones and see into the future. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east bury their age-old blood feud and join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse.

For the first time in generations, the leaders of the Svell are divided. Should they maintain peace or go to war with the allied clans to protect their newfound power? And when their chieftain looks to Tova to cast the stones, she sets into motion a series of events that will not only change the landscape of the mainland forever but will give her something she believed she could never have again??a home.

Let's be honest, I was pretty much conflicted on how to rate this rate. It was good enough to be rated over 3 stars but not enough to be 3.5 in which case I would normally round up but it was pretty much borderline... so 3 solid stars it is! I came into this novel not realising it was part of the series and luckily for me this novel could be considered a standalone. 1 points there my friend. Nevertheless, one of the biggest problems I had with "The Girl the Sea Gave Back" was the pacing and the boring ass ending. The whole lead up to the climax left me with anticipation and when it finally came, I was far more than disappointed. Like what the pho (speaking of pho, I should go get some)? It should've been epic. It should've beat out everything else that happened in the book but it didn't and everything just seemed rushed, which is how you never want to end a book. Ever. Besides those negative factors, the novel was fairly enjoyable, the fight scenes were brutal and well written, and I would definitely consider reading from author again in the future.

This is a YA Historical Fantasy, loosely drawing upon mythologies to create a unique world. This is what I was hoping for, though it didn't deliver. The chapters were told in alternating points of view, but it was so difficult to tell who's chapter I was in because they were blending together so badly. Maybe this would be easier to get through if I had read 'Sky In The Deep' first because I have since learned that this is the follow up novel to SITD. ( )

I was browsing the library and saw this book was written by Adrienne Young. Having just read Sky in the Deep I was curious to see what this book was all about. I was pleasantly surprised that it was the same world just years later with Halvard as the main character and all grown up!! I really enjoyed this book, I just feel like we got left with things unfinished! The ending makes me think we might see more from Halvard and Tova later on (at least I hope so). The reason it's a 3/5 was sometimes I got confused jumping from Halvard's and Tova's point of views. ( )

If the term "foreboding" was a book, this would be it. This book is about a girl who, through casting stones, can see into the future. This makes people use her as a tool to know what's going to happen. At the same time, they hate and fear her because they think she is the cause of the bad things that happen.

At the beginning of this, she sees destruction in the future of the people she's staying with, which leads to a series of events that happens in the rest of the book.

It might have just been a long time since I've read a book purely described as fantasy, but I felt like this book was not what I expected it to be, based on the cover. I think if I were to reread this book, or read another book by this same author, I would enjoy it more as an audiobook. Reading the unfamiliar names made it hard to keep track of who each person was and where their loyalties were. ( )
