Wild Sky

I'm not huge on high fantasy so I was a bit hesitant to read this book but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Feli writes this fantasy world in a way that feels very realistic and the only real fantasy element are the existence of dragons. All of the characters feel multi-dimensional and very thought out. Though the book is over 500 pages, it's paced very well both in the romance as well as the world building and I wouldn't have minded another 500 pages when it was over.
I was impressed with the writing because Feli is Danish with English as a second language and yet you'd never be able to tell. There were some editing issues, like a repetition of phrases in a few parts (“collapsed like a stack of cards” used twice in the same scene) but it's not something that takes away from the quality of the story. I'm excited to read more of Feli's books.

I'll admit, I usually like to summarise the summary myself, because it makes it really fun. But then I saw the graphics and knew I'd have to put off the summary revision for another day. So this review will look different because I wanted to showcase some of the graphics! Thank you so much to A Novel Take PR – for the review copy and the slot on the blog tour. Go check them out!

I did not realise this was like 764 pages!! I thought it as a nice 300-400 somewhere fantasy, and my eyes grew a tad bit wide because the last time I read a book over 600 pages was I think The Wise Man's Fear? And that took me a month or two to finish ahaha. So I thought I would take a week or even two to finish this one, because it's so huge. But I actually finished this really quickly!! It was so so good that I didn't even notice how much I was reading at a time until I looked at the time? Which is definitely a tell (for me) that I really enjoyed a book.

This book gave me everything, from a brief mention of currency (which, oddly, is a thing I absolutely love to read in fantasies), to characters I knew I could root for and absolutely love, and which ones I should watch out for.

Tauren Darrica and Kalai Ro-Ani were two characters I had such fun reading about. I loved meeting them and getting to know them; seeing them meet each other and getting to know each other. Tauren is that type of character who likes to think they're tough but he's actually really soft and he cares about people and wants to help them. I loved seeing how fierce Kalai gets because he takes on a job as an archivist, which isn't really known for its action and drama.

Another thing I really loved was seeing them become closer to one another and, furthermore, wanting to be closer to each other – which really really warmed my Grinchly heart. They brought out the best in each other and made each other go for what they wanted! I don't normally go seeking romance out (in books), but I'd seek this romance out.

Yes, there are dragons in this novel. Is dragon a genre? Well, it's one now. I loved seeing the dragons and reading about the different types of dragons – I could read about dragon types and wings, scales, even how strong the tail is, for ages. The dragons in this are funny and compassionate. Even though they don't speak, they have bounds of personality – does that make sense? I feel like that makes sense.

Look at how great that chapter logo looks! I had to upload it to show you. And the character art? So good!

I can't say much on the plot, the book is really long so the plot develops a lot and there's some twists and turns (which I loved). But there's also mystery and intrigue, which is done really well! I kept wanting to know more and turning the page so quickly, I must've paged more than one page
