Sky Is Yours
Sky Is Yours | Chandler Klang Smith
A sprawling, genre-defying epic set in a dystopian metropolis plagued by dragons, this debut about what it's like to be young in a very old world is pure storytelling pleasure In the burned-out, futuristic city of Empire Island, three young people navigate a crumbling metropolis constantly under threat from a pair of dragons that circle the skies. When violence strikes, reality star Duncan Humphrey Ripple V, the spoiled scion of the metropolis' last dynasty; Baroness Swan Lenore Dahlberg, his tempestuous, death-obsessed betrothed; and Abby, a feral beauty he discovered tossed out with the trash; are forced to flee everything they've ever known. As they wander toward the scalded heart of the city, they face fire, conspiracy, mayhem, unholy drugs, dragon-worshippers, and the monsters lurking inside themselves. In this bombshell of a novel, Chandler Klang Smith has imagined an unimaginable world: scathingly clever and gorgeously strange, The Sky Is Yours is at once faraway and disturbingly familiar, its singular chaos grounded in the universal realities of love, family, and the deeply human desire to survive at all costs. The Sky Is Yours is incredibly cinematic, bawdy, rollicking, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable, a debut that readers who loved Cloud Atlas, Super Sad True Love Story, and Blade Runner will adore.

Mehso-so

Really strong world building in the first half; really meandering storytelling in the back half. I‘m calling it even.

I have days where I find this book the good kind of quirky and days where it doesn‘t sit right with me. The dynamic between Swanny and Sharkey is f*ed

One third of the way in, and I couldn't tell where this was going and didn't really care. The characters were all too one-dimensional, and one of them was intentionally really obnoxious but I couldn't stand reading about him.

“This is a story of what it is to be young in a very old world”. First sentence of what promises to be a great book. Particularly because I often feel very old in a young world. 🙃

CaitlinR Really wanted to like this, but found not much there-there. (edited) 7y

That was a WEIRD evening but Chandler‘s mind is obviously constantly churning interesting lines & plot... I‘m thinking her debut is going to be a good one!! 😁

Fans of Mark Z. Danielewski or David Wong or fantasy & dragons must check it out.

I ‘think‘ this will be my #JanTBR (well, my plans at the start!) based on ARCs, challenges, catch-ups, my next #LMPBC read, and already have one read!
I don‘t know if I should sign up for any challenges though; I‘ve got the Pop Sugar one in mind and the Horror one??
