The Cloud Roads is the first book in a new series about a misfit called Moon who lives on a very strange planet with floating islands like in Avatar. The planet is divided into sky people, sea people, and groundlings. Moon is an orphan who drifts around, trying to fit in with the groundlings. But he meets a flying creature called Stone who shows Moon who he really is. But that only complicates things as Moon becomes a key player in the battle against the evil Fell who are intent on conquering the entire planet. The Cloud Roads features plenty of action and a satisfyingly complex plot. I’ll be reviewing the just published second book in this Raksura series tomorrow.
