This story includes sea dragons mostly hunted for profit in an area of tropical islands, and their eggs are especially prized for magical properties. There is also some interesting magic with the tattoo like markings of some characters. This description includes nothing of the main characters, but that‘s hard without giving away key details.

📷: I listened today as I worked around the house & started some baking projects.

Spending my last few hours of the weekend starting this book. While I really really enjoyed reading my last four books, all romances, I need to switch up genres. This looks cute.

I read Nelson‘s second book, Small Worlds, and really enjoyed it.

If I hadn‘t read Small Worlds, I‘d probably be raving about Open Water.

And there‘s the problem. Both books seem far too similar. They are basically exactly the same story with names and professions changed.

The prose in both books is lovely. But I hoped for something more.

I loved this book. The language is so spare yet so evocative. Reading this was like reading poetry. A powerful and moving book. This may turn out to be my book of the year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our traumas, the things that injure us in this life, even over time, are not always behind us. Sometimes they linger in the smell of a newborn baby. They surprise us in the taste of a home-cooked meal. They wait in the room at the end of the hall. They are with us. They are present. And there are some days when memories feel more real than those who remain, than the joys of this world 💔

Reggie Omg I loved this book, and the Skyland series as a whole. She‘s sooo good. 4w
BittersweetBooks it was really good, looking forward to the second book! Which book is your favorite from the series? @Reggie 4w
Reggie It‘s this one, but only because before I read it, I had been to 6 funerals in one year and the last one had really hit me hard. And for 3 months I just felt like I could cry at any moment but when I read this I felt like I was going to grief counseling with the MCs. After reading it, I felt so much better. The next two are awesome but this one holds a place in my heart. 4w
BittersweetBooks Oh wow, I‘m so sorry! That sounds like an incredibly tough time. I can understand why this one would be special to you. I really appreciated the way Kennedy depicted grief throughout this book. @Reggie (edited) 3w

The second book surprised me with its slower, more grounded pace compared to the whirlwind of the first. Tabby felt more fleshed out, showing quiet growth and complexity. I want her to be more assertive, but that‘s part of her journey. What struck me most is how Allen reminds us that Black women — even in fiction — are allowed to evolve, hesitate, and change their minds.
