Tomorrow you'll be able to experience a new young adult novel series by author Amie Kaufman. The Isles of the Gods introduces you to a world on the brink of war, and it's up to young heroes and heroines to stop it.
All Selly wants is to sail north to be reunited with her father. All Keegan wants is to study in solitude at the Bibliotek. All Jude wants is for his mother to get well. All Leander wants is to party. And all Laskia wants is to prove herself worthier than her older sister, Ruby.
When Leander fails to do one thing - his main princely duty - Laskia takes advantage and attempts to have Leander assassinated. But with the help of Selly and Keegan, who begrudgingly become Leander's friends, they keep him alive. Just long enough.
Of course, the story doesn't end with this book. The Isles of the Gods is just the beginning of the story. Despite having a bit of a hard time keeping track of all the characters and the action in this novel, I am intrigued as to what will happen next. I don't know if this series is doing to be a duology or something longer, but I do know that Kaufman has created an interesting world filled with magic, mystery, and murder. I look forward to seeing where the rest of the story goes.
The Isles of the Gods is published by Knopf Books for Young Readers and will be published May 2, 2023. I received a free e-ARC from the publisher.
