Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner prove they are two living goddesses of writing, creating two compelling worlds with high stakes and gripping emotions. --Sarah Rees Brennan, New York Times bestselling author of the Demon's Lexicon trilogy and the Lynburn Legacy seriesNew York Times bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner have crafted a gripping tale of magic and logic, fate and choice, and a deadly love. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Brandon Sanderson. Prince North's home is in the sky, in a gleaming city held aloft by intricate engines, powered by technology. Nimh is the living goddess of her people on the Surface, responsible for providing answers, direction--hope. North's and Nimh's lives are entwined--though their hearts can never be. Linked by a terrifying prophecy and caught between duty and fate, they must choose between saving their people or succumbing to the bond that is forbidden between them.--School Library Journal

After reading The Isles of the Gods by Amie Kaufman earlier this month, when I saw this book I knew I had to read it. And it did not disappoint. I loved the mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements, especially the reactions of the characters to the elements they‘re not used to (by which I mean the fantasy characters reacting to sci-fi artifacts and vice versa). But yeah: loved it.

”What choice do I have?” she cries.
”There is always a choice!”

The Other Side of the Sky | Amie Kaufman, Meagan Spooner

I don‘t know if I believe in her prophecies. I don‘t know if I believe in her gods or her destiny. I don‘t know if I believe in any of this.
But I believe in her.

“I don‘t know anything,” I tell her, spreading my hands desperately. “Except that I‘m glad I fell, Nimh.” My eyes burn as I say the words, not least because I‘ve never said them even to myself—not least because to say then means turning my back on my family. It means surrendering hope that I‘ll ever see my friends again. “I‘m glad,” I repeat. “Because I met you.”

Even spinning out of control and losing everything she ever believed in, she still has the power to steal my breath away.

“I‘m still here with you,” I murmur. The words are soft, but they‘re enough to make her focus on my face again. “I‘m real. And you‘ve taught me to believe, Nimh. In things I can‘t see or touch. But more than anything, I believe in you. And I‘m real.”

I don‘t mind if she‘s scared, or sad. I want her to be human. I want her to feel. And if I can manage it, I want her to hope.

I used to dream of not being alone.
And now, here is someone to stand beside me.

A magic-wielding girl from Below. Good choice, North.

She‘s like a torch in the darkness, pushing away the fears and horrors of the night.

But of all the objections and protestations flashing through my mind, all I‘m left with as she meets my eyes is one thought: She‘s all alone.
I lean down to pick up the pack and swing it over my shoulders. “I‘m coming with you. Let‘s go.”

The empty vessel
will at the end of days
seek the land kissed by the sun.
For only on that journey
before a swift gray tide
will the last star fall.
The empty one
will keep the star
as a brand against the darkness,
and only in that glow
will the Lightbringer look upon this page
and know himself…

I always try the Kaufman/Spooner books because they always sound so good, but the execution isn't quite there. I think I would have enjoyed this more if they spent more time in the cloudlands as that was more interesting to me than the planet surface. #pop23 #Readyourtbr #Serieslove2023

Wow, where to start. Two authors have come together to bring us this beautiful woven story, two worlds coming together one from the past the other from the future. North(Cloudlander)has fallen for the sky and Nimh (Goddess) has left her temple to find the fallen star to complete the prophesy, They have been destiny to meet and bring the change of two worlds, but what happens when love enters the playing field.

4/5🌟
I don‘t read that much fantasy, much less YA fantasy, but this one was pretty great. The two worlds were such a great complement to each other, and the cliffhanger was probably one of the best I‘ve read. Plus, a cat is one of the best characters! 🐈😍

❐ Overall Rating 4 | Narration 4½
What an interesting dystopian-ish world that these Authors have created here. One realm, Nihm‘s, is on the ground with fantastical elements and North‘s is in the sky with futuristic-techy elements. Unfortunately, I couldn‘t always stay in the story, but I did really want to...so that‘s saying something.

📖 hardback usually, but I do find paperbacks easier to hold. I have equal amounts of both.
📖 Without
📖 ebooks more and more
📖 total mood reader although I will look at my TBR first
📖 fiction
📖 both? I love a good romance. And lots of action, too. 😉
📖 all the time. But I teach English so I‘m lucky that way!

The books I picked up yesterday. I hadn‘t heard about the tagged book, but I saw the cover and.. there was a cat! And it also sounds like a very cool concept. I‘m having trouble getting into Furyborn, so I might try it out tonight.

BookmarkTavern I am swooning for all of those covers! 😍 4y
