Synopsis

Ninth House meets The Hazel Wood in this “richly written” (Booklist, starred review) sequel to the New York Times bestselling dark academia fantasy Curious Tides, following Emory, Baz, Romie, and Kai on their desperate quests through worlds and time!

Opening locked doors has a price—even for those who hold a key.

After going through the door that called to them both in dreams, Emory and Romie find themselves in the Wychwood: the same verdant world written of in Song of the Drowned Gods, albeit a twisted, rotting version of it. A sinister force has awoken with their arrival, intent on destruction as it spills across realms, and now Emory and Romie must stop it before it reaches their own shores.

Meanwhile, Baz and Kai are desperate to follow their friends through the door to other worlds, but a mishap pulls them back in time instead—where they come face to face with Cornus Clover himself, famed author of Song of the Drowned Gods. Stuck together in the past, they must navigate a very different Aldryn as they unravel the school’s darkest secrets.

Across time and worlds, Emory, Romie, Baz, and Kai find their fates eerily interwoven with the heroes from Clover’s book. But when stories can’t be trusted, friendships are put to the test, and deadly enemies are not always as they seem, they must decide who gets to be a hero—and who is desperate enough to see themselves become a villain.

He'd come to terms with not seeing himself reflected in Song Of The Drowned Gods. He was the reader, doomed to watch his favourite heroes from the sidelines , as he'd always done" I know this is to be a trilogy, and how many of them suffer the 'middle book syndrome'? Not this one... Holy moly, this w......more

Stranger Skies is a thrilling continuation of The Drowned Gods series, picking up the intense and emotional threads woven in the first book. this second book delves deeper into the lives of the main characters, while the world around them becomes even more dangerous and complex.

Goodreads review by Casey Bee on December 06, 2024

I really loved book one and became obsessed with the magic system, so I was not expecting book two to be even better, but I think it was! I rated both five stars though. New magic system components and new characters are introduced, weaving seamlessly into that which we already had exposure to. Emor......more

Goodreads review by Stacey on September 16, 2024

Back again... and ✨️WOW✨️(again) Stranger Skies was (and I hate this word but....) unputdownable. While some of us are back at Aldryn College, some of us are somewhere we still can't believe is real, on the other side of the door in the Wychwood. Following the call, Romie has made it to the other sid......more

Goodreads review by Darcia on November 27, 2024

I so badly want to love this series. But I have to face facts; it just isn’t for me. The good stuff: The world building and magic system are well done and fascinating. Now the other stuff: The book felt too long. We have an excess of POVs, plus a complex plot and time jumps and… well, it was all a bit......more
