Moon and Jade and the other members of Indigo Cloud have found a new place to live -- Indigo Cloud's previous colony in a mountain tree. (A tree the size of a mountain, that is; have I mentioned that I love this world?) Well, they've found a place to live if they can keep the tree from dying, that is ... Which will require a lengthy journey across the titular sea to a ... most unique city.More great world-building, Raksura politics, adventures, and fascinatingly flawed characters.Wonderful wonderful wonderful.Full of interesting creatures, magic, characters and relationships. I love that series, can't wait to start the third one!
Stone wandered up out of the crowd, stopped and eyed Moon for a moment, then nudged his shoulder. You all right? Yes. Suddenly that was all Moon could trust himself to say. He felt like he had never really come home before, not to a permanent home, not to a place where everyone knew the real him. He couldnt even trust himself to shift to his groundling form, even though it was technically rude to stay like this while Stone was a groundling. What he really wanted to do was run away and hide in a
Really good but a tad too slow for my tastes this time, all this "he went there and there, then he crouched, then he shifted, then he checked, then he climbed, then he shifted back, then he fought enemies, then he run" caused me to sigh impatiently for quite a couple of times.

4.5 starsAn excellent follow up to The Cloud Roads. Wells has such a gift for rich and imaginative worldbuilding. I would love to see these books on film; the visual descriptions are captivating.The characters continue to be a real highlight as well. The development is slow and sure, building by layers. The depth of the characters helps to contribute to the real sense of peril Wells creates, particularly in the second half of the book.I am most definitely continuing this series.
This sequel to the excellent The Cloud Roads (one of my top 10 books 2010) starts where the first book left of, as Moon, the now-consort to Jade, the sister queen to the Indigo Cloud and their court are on their way to their ancestral home in the hope of finding a new settlement for their people. The court is battle-weary after their fight against the Fell and worried about their diminishing numbers but still hopeful for a bright future at the new settlement. And at first, it seems all of their
