Summary
The fifth novel in the bestselling and award-winning Graceling Realm series focuses on Hava, Queen Bitterblue's spy, and her harrowing journey back to Monsea after the events of 2021's Winterkeep.
In the immediate aftermath of the events of Winterkeep, Bitterblue and her entourage begin the journey back to Monsea with the only copies of the formulas for the zilphium weapon. Bitterblue must decide what she will do with her world-shaping power. But before they've even made it halfway home, storms drive their ship off course and then they wreck in the ice far north of the Royal Continent. The survivors must make a harrowing trek across the ice in order to make it back to Monsea.
Seasparrow is told entirely from the point of view of Hava, Bitterblue's personal spy and secret half sister. And while Bitterblue grapples with how to carry the responsibility of a weapon of mass destruction, Hava must decide what she will do with herself in the new world Bitterblue will make.

another brilliant book by Kristin Cashore!
I loved this book and would highly recommend it! I wasn't expecting this adventure after the previous books in this series but it was a perfect progression in this world that Kristin Cashore has built for us. the characters are so well done. the emotion makes you really feel like you are living the book yourself as the main character.

the first person narrative
I liked how each book in the series develops the characters and story lines with depth and complexity of characters.

Different to the other books, but still very good.
I hesitantly bought this book after reading all the others which I loved. Reviews were very mixed with lots of people saying the pace wasn’t as good and the story was only from one POV so I was nervous about this one. However, I found it very engaging, the story was interesting, the characters were well drawn out and I thought it rounded out the story from previous books. There wasn’t a big reveal in this book, but it’s not that kind of story. Still a really good read from Kristen cashore .

A great book in a great series
When I first heard that this entire book was from the perspective of just one of the characters I was a little sceptical.
But its such a great read.
I loved how Hava develops and matures throughout the novel.
Plus all the little plot twists and turns. I couldn't get enough. I was genuinely gutted when it ended. I'm hoping it's not too long of a wait for book 6.
As with all the other books in the series, Emma does a great job of narrating it.

unfortunately disappointing
*spoilers*
having enjoyed all the prior books i was excited for seasparrow, i thought it had ended on an exciting note in winter keep, with perhaps an upcoming conflict with Estill. however this book did not further any greater plot point, or give us any new or exciting information, instead i found i had to force myself to keep going, as the first 5 hours of the book are spent on a boat with zero action despite the brief respite of her finding a blue fox and almost being thrown overboard. when i read fire i found the pacing to be fantastic, perhaps even too fast at times. the pacing in seasparrow is abhorrent, and the worst part is the story goes nowhere there is no satisfying conclusion, only a small wrap up of a slight mystery which was wayyyy to convenient and foolish (why would Joff intentionally try to smuggle his illegal fox with important knowledge on the same ship as the queen, while knowing they are on to his project and have stormed his secret lab, just wtf) the writing was still good, Kristin Cashore is a talented author, which is why I found it so unfortunate that this story has so little to say and was so hard to get through, and of course Emma Powell once again does an amazing job at narration
