I freaking LOVE these books. The first book caught me by surprise, but I loved it so much I pestered the author 'til she gave me an advance copy of the second.Because the Books of the Raksura contain some of the most original, exotic, and beautiful fantasy worldbuilding I've ever seen. Those of you who complain that there's nothing new in fantasy, read these. Here is plausible ecology, and biology mingled with magic in a way that feels almost science fictional. Here are created, magical races dr...
2022: 4.5 stars2017: 4.5 flying stars You are your own worst enemy, he told himself. Not that that was a new revelation; it was just that he was starting to notice it more. En la segunda novela de Raksura, seguimos el viaje por barco volador de la corte de Indigo Cloud después de las pérdidas sufridas por los Fell, y la adicion de un consorte 'feral' en Moon. Niran se va con ellos para resguardar los barcos y Blossom aprende a dirigir el otro mientras que guiados por el abuelo o mejor dicho Pa...
I'm surprised I'm giving this book 4 stars . I given worse grades to better books but I enjoyed this book from start to finish it wouldn't feel right giving it any less. Second installment in this pretty unique series maybe isn't epic or ambitious but what it set to do it does very well. Story is good and flows fluidly, world and Raksura themselves are as interesting as ever and novelty hasn't warn off a bit. Overall it's pure fun. Perfect book between longer, more complex books.
Final rating: 5/5 stars “Don’t give up. Promise me you won’t give up on us.” Another 5 star worth book! Although just a bit weaker than the first one, I really enjoyed reading it for so many reasons: even more development to the world, addition of new and interesting characters and other courts. It's even more interesting now than before.But the first half of the book had a bit more relaxing and a bit slower pacing than the first one, but the second half really picked up and was worth
Mostly as good as the first book. Storyline a bit less intense esp. in the first half, but the worldbuilding is just as stunning. I didn't expect to be surprised after the first book, but the places Moon visited towards the end - astounded me once again.
Notes:The story reads better in print than listening by audio. Up close look into Raksura culture, getting to know the Indigo Cloud group & Moon finally feeling like he has a home + family.
Just as good as the first two times I read it, and that amazing feeling of coming home again is still there. These books really are the quintessential summer reads. My only fear is racing the last book and that unavoidable book-hangover. * * * * *Rereading on audio with the Flight of Fantasy group* * * * *The Serpent Sea takes place after the fight with the Fell. Moon is now a member of the Indigo Cloud court and takes his place beside Jade as her Consort. He’s settling into his new role and has...
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.
Moon and his new family in the Indigo Cloud Court have returned to the ancestral lands of the Raksura and their home mountain-tree, deserted for generations. Only in their absence someone has stolen the magical seed that keeps the tree alive. Moon and Jade lead a delegation to another Court to try to secure a replacement, but discover that the tree will only accept the original seed so that it must be retrieved. Cue another mission for Moon and his new people across the wonderfully inventive and...
What a wonderful story!!! It broke my heart several times, but in a good way, if that makes sense... I love Moon, Stone and Jade! I feel for Chime and my heart hurts for Flower!!! I am totally emotionally invested in this beautiful magical world! Now on to the final one...
