"Pascale Lacelle you've done it again!! When I tell you that the pre-order was not cancelled
One of my biggest bookish pet peeves is multi-pov books, but clearly I've been reading the wrong books. I was still able to feel connected and understand how the characters were feeling. Even when the pov switched I wasn't stuck in a loop of one boring and one entertaining story.
The world building was impeccable, as always...
The angst was spot on, as always...
The character development was *chefs kiss*, as always...
...and I'm so excited to see where Ms Lacelle takes this series

Thank you to Simon & Schuster for letting me ARC read!"

I loved Curious Tides so I had very high expectations going into this and it did not disappoint! This book pretty much continues right where the first left off and I was so engaged in it the whole way through. The author does a great job at world building and I love the unique magic system. I also love these characters and really enjoyed seeing the relationships between them. Overall, I would definitely recommend this series to others and I can't wait for the next book!

I really enjoyed this. It picks up where the 1st book left off and continues the dreamy world building. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be dreamy and serene feeling but a world based off of tides and the moon gives me that feeling. I enjoyed the 3 alternating views still and all their individual stories and how they connect. Maybe because I read the physical book, as opposed to listening to the audiobook, but i thought that it was better paced. I didn’t find myself thinking it was going on too long and was engaged the whole way through.
I recommend this series! It feels more mature then your typical YA fantasy as well.

I am deeply obsessed with Curious Tides and now Stranger Skies. Seriously, Pascale Lacelle is a phenomenal author and talented story teller. If she writes it, I’ll read it. I don’t want to give anything away but this story picks up right where Curious Tides ended and I’m so thankful that it jumped right into the story. Having to wait in between them was hard!!

Thank you Simon and Schuster Canada & Netgalley for an advanced copy of Stranger Skies!

I was so excited to dive into this one after finishing Curious Tides and I was not disappointed. The world is so whimsical and full of depth that I couldn’t wait to read the next chapter and see what was next.

Kai and Baz were my favourite characters in the first book, and that didn’t change in this one. I love their dynamic so much, and I love seeing their connection grow as the story goes on.

There were so many new things to see in this book and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I truly can’t wait for the next book because I love this story and I need to know what happens to these characters.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for providing me with an arc.

Stranger Skies has a very different feeling compared to the first book, but still has everything I love from Curious Tides. The complex magic system whose lore goes deeper, the up and downs of relationships between characters, and the many turns and curves the story takes me through.

The sequel goes deeper into the lore of the Drowned Gods as well as going into details about the lore of the Tides and Shadow and the other worlds with their similar beliefs. Slowly unraveling the truth of the gods.

Also was so excited my ship from book 1 sailed and I won’t say much to not spoil, but I won’t forgive Pascale unless I get my hands on book 3 to see their ending. (This is a formal request for an arc for book 3 if Pascale see this, please and thank you 👉👈. I still love you but if they don’t get their happy ending ima cry 😭).

Overall, Stranger Skies is a great sequel that carried all the parts I love from Curious Tides and more. I can’t wait for the third book and everyone has their happy ending!! (Let me be delulu ☺️)
